Abstract

The aim of this paper is to describe the learning process of high school students when developing Educational Digital Author Materials (MADEs) from posts on the social network Instagram about the concept of Evolution. The demand has been due to the problem related to the difficulties in developing the content of Evolution in the classroom, and also due to adversities regarding the use of the traditional mode of teaching. The research developed was characterized as exploratory qualitative approach, based on the data provided by the forms that were applied between July and November, in a group of 25 students from the 3rd year class of the Tourism Guide at Escola Estadual de Ensino Profissiona Giselda Teixeira, in Palmácia - CE. The application of this research was done in three stages. The first was the planning, the second data collection/preparation of MADEs and the third, the analysis of the data that were collected. The planning took place in July of 2021 starting with bibliographic research, the construction of forms and the creation of the profile in the social network Instagram for the publication of MADEs by the students. The samples were collected from 2 questionnaires, one of probing applied in the first class and one of evaluation applied in the last class. In the data analysis, an interpretation was performed based on the comparison of the answers presented in the two questionnaires on the content of Evolution. The study showed progress in the answers presented at the end of the research, based on the use of the methodological thoughts of the Cooperative Learning and Constructionism used during the construction of MADEs. Students have achieved an improvement in learning by giving these more ownership and security to address on the topic Evolution, leading to a fairer learning process through cooperation between.
