Problematização no ensino de biologia com o Arco de Maguerez: um ebook para professores desenvolvido em contexto amazônico

Abstract

The search for new pedagogical practices, which can be applied to the teaching of biology, has been rising recently, always with the aim of enhancing the teaching and learning process. In this perspective, the research brought a methodology based on constructivism: the problematization, having as reference the “Arco de Maguerez”, which presents in its didactics, the enrichment of the student protagonism, rooted in the investigative principle retained in its pedagogical core, besides consolidating it as an educational practice that provides a reflective thinking of the actors involved in the process. Therefore, the present work has as main objective to analyze an educational product (eBook) about the possibilities of its use as a pedagogical tool in teacher education, in addition to the didactic methodology presented, as an instructive strategy in the discussion of socio-environmental themes in the Amazon scenario. The research was quantitative, based on the collection and analysis of data from a spreadsheet of closed questions and using the Likert scale, answered by biology teachers from basic education in the public and / or private network. The selection criteria for the research subjects were linked in two aspects: a) with experience in environmental education / sustainability projects in their work institutions; b) graduate students with professional master's degrees in biology teaching at a federal public university. All data showed a high level of agreement from the research subjects, in the criteria established in the spreadsheet, such as: design, language, organization, textual content, methodology used and in teacher training. After the data analysis process, the product was reformulated and made available for consultation and enjoyment.
