Elaboração e aplicação de modelo didático como ferramenta facilitadora para a discussão do conteúdo ciclo das angiospermas no ensino médio

Abstract

The teaching of Botany is still, most of the time, worked in a limited way, using traditional teaching methodologies within a space in which there is little interest and participation of students. In this scenario, the use of methodological alternatives that help in the construction of knowledge is evident as an important teaching tool. Thus, this work aimed to create and evaluate an applicable and low-cost didactic model as a tool to facilitate learning, related to the angiosperm cycle content, for second year high school students. Initially, a visit was made to the educational institution in which the work was applied, and the research objectives were presented to students and the biology teacher. The invitation to participate was made through a link containing a form created in Google Forms, accompanied by a Free and Informed Consent Term (ICF) which, if accepted, directed the student to the pre-questionnaire (Q1). After the application of Q1, a class was held in which the content of angiosperms was addressed with the aid of the didactic model. Then, a new questionnaire was applied (Q2) with the purpose of evaluating the knowledge learned by the students provided by the class, as well as their perceptions related to its accomplishment. After analyzing the data, there was a greater performance in the correct answers by the students in all the applied vestibular/ENEM questions, as well as a greater involvement and attention of the students when using the proposed didactic model. We conclude that the use of the didactic model related to the angiosperm cycle proved to be an efficient tool for the students' learning process, being at the same time a low-cost alternative with high applicability and potential in the classroom
