O rap como artefato cultural no ensino de biologia

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis explores the use of RAP as a cultural artifact in High School Biology teaching, from a critical perspective informed by the epistemologies of Paulo Freire and Gaston Bachelard. The study adopts a qualitative, participatory approach, connecting youth culture with scientific knowledge. RAP lyrics are used as a pedagogical tool to problematize biological concepts and address social issues present in students’ daily lives. The work engages with critical education, cultural pedagogies, and scientific literacy, viewing Biology teaching as a socially, historically, and culturally situated process. This approach highlights the potential of integrating students’ cultural expressions into science education to foster engagement, reflection, and meaningful learning.
