A importância da implantação de higiene pessoal no ensino de ciências dentro de sala de aula

Abstract

The school environment can be considered a rich space to facilitate learning, and this process can occur in a variety of ways. It is a place that can serve as a bridge for the introduction of new habits into society. It is necessary to combine scientific concepts with the reality experienced by students in relation to health, so that it is possible to establish reflective learning. In this way, students are able to observe and apply the concepts learned in theory in their experiences in addition to getting to know the world in relation to diseases and infections, reflecting on their actions on a daily basis. Recognizing the importance of hygiene in schools and the need to acquire new knowledge and habits at all levels and modalities of education, it is evident that every individual should have access to it. Through hygiene, we can become more responsible and critical citizens in this regard. However, this topic is often not given due attention in schools. Therefore, the general objective of this study is to identify how the use of active methodologies can contribute to the teaching of hygiene in schools, especially in the teaching of Science, in the final years of elementary school.
