Análise da produção de livro-jogo digital na perspectiva tecnodocente para o ensino de células no Ensino Médio

Abstract

Expository teaching, predominant in public schools in Brazil, offers little protagonism to students, especially in Cell Biology, not satisfying learning about human cells. Technoteaching and the construction of Digital Authorial Educational Materials (MADEs) are innovative alternatives that use Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDICs) and have Constructionism as one of their theoretical bases, which attributes an active role to the student and provides meaning to the process of learning. The objective of this research is to analyze how the application of a Didactic Sequence (SD) for the development of MADEs in the gamebook format, produced by 2nd year high school students using the Twine software, helps in understanding the concept of cell and its variety in the human body. The research, of an exploratory qualitative nature, involved the participation of 8 students from a State School in Fortaleza, Ceará. The development stages included planning, data collection and analysis, with three phases of data collection using the instruments: (1) Initial Questionnaire (IQ), (2) SD and (3) Final Questionnaire (QF). SD was subdivided into five Interventions: (1) Experimentation with gamebooks, narratives and Twine; (2) Production of the MADE script; (3) Production of the gamebook - Part 1; (4) Production of the gamebook - Part 2; and (5) Assessment between pairs and explanation of content. Data analysis compared students' responses in IQ and QF, focusing on three Cell Biology categories: cell definition, cell name and cell function, for four groups: muscular, immunological, blood and sexual. The results showed that the students had a conceptual increase in the definition of cells and improved the association of their names and functions, especially in the groups of muscle and immune cells. SD helped with learning by involving students in creating their own MADEs in a gamebook format. Some students advanced further in their knowledge of blood and sexual cells, while others encountered difficulties with muscle and immune cells. The results will be presented to the researcher's research group and globally at conferences and academic journals to obtain immediate feedback, promote practical discussions and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the area, which may form the basis for a future master's project.
