Animes e quadrinhos no ensino de Biologia: um relato de experiência

Abstract

The debates on new teaching-learning methods for the discipline of Biology in the classroom make it possible to trace new paths for what we want as future teachers. In this way, the sharing of experiences and the sharing of different perspectives of current scenarios become important tools to provide elements of action and reflection to a discussion. In this work, I use the resource of autobiographical narrative, having as a guiding thread a trajectory marked by active performance in the high school classroom of a public school in Fortaleza, in which I bring several experiences that will be part of my reflections as a scientific educator, who uses active methodologies to address the content-based part of the discipline, even though he was still a student in a Science and Biology teacher training course. I seek to base myself on the ideas of Paulo Freire, when he says that the student should become the center of learning, and I refer to the curricular structure of the Biological Sciences course. Thus, here lies qualitative research, arising from a practice in the classroom with an approach to the exhibition of anime and comics that help in the understanding of the content once administered in class. Therefore, these considerations are personal impressions that helped me and helped me in the formation of the teaching self and in the awakening in relation to the mediator of knowledge. In addition, I conclude that the use of active methods in the discipline of Biology can add to a science that is applicable and educational, since it has images, colors and stories that interact directly with Biology, leaving a more dynamic flow in the classroom and a taste of "I want a little more" in the students. By being in a space conducive to the development of this methodology, it was possible to see how the students were able to see, interact and apply with the knowledge acquired and applied to their daily lives. In addition to facilitating my development and my teacher awakening to the importance and need for different types of content-based approaches.
