Scrapbook como recurso pedagógico no ensino de citologia na primeira série do ensino médio

Abstract

The scrapbook technique is characteristic ized by the making of a book related to a particular theme. In addition to images, albums can consist of texts, articles published in books, magazines, audiovisual media and various objects. In this sense, this research was developed based on the possibility of using scrapbook in high school biology classes. The objective was to explain the technique of making the album as a pedagogical resource for the construction of knowledge focused on the perspective of scientific literacy and for the autonomy of the student, enabling a methodological alternative to the learning process in the area of Nature Sciences. This research is characterized by the quantitative-qualitative approach. The development of activities and data collection occurred in a class consisting of 40 (forty) students of the first grade of high school, in a public school in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri/PA, specifically, in relation to the object of cytology knowledge. For the classes, we used a Didactic Sequence (SD) and construction of what was called Cytological Scrapbook, involving this theme with predefined sub-items, exposure of the albums of clippings and classes given later in order to systematize the content developed and built by the students. Semi-structured questionnaires were used for information computation and quantitative-qualitative analysis with inferences. The results indicate that the theme developed attests to the success of the scrapbook technique, thus being proposed as an educational product in the teaching of Biology, expanding possibilities for scientific literacy. As a didactic product, we propose a guide of guidelines for the use of scrapbook technique by teachers in the area of Nature Sciences.
