Smartphone como ferramenta pedagógica: a utilização de tecnologias digitais no processo de ensino e aprendizagem de biologia.

Abstract

The general objective defined for the conclusion of this research was to understand how the use of the smartphone can contribute to the process and learning of the discipline of Biology. The methodology used for the investigation of this research seeks to analyze the benefits of using smartphones in the classroom as pedagogical tools in the teaching of Biology, through exploratory research of basic application, with qualitative reflections. To understand how the use of smartphones can contribute to the process and learning of the discipline of Biology, this research applied 220 questionnaires, containing 11 objective questions. Next, each question contained in the questionnaires will be presented with the result found and a brief analysis of what was collected. The data collected served to understand the contributions that the smartphone may have provided during Biology classes, making it clear that: The use of smartphone in the classroom reduces laboratory expenses; The use of the smartphone as a pedagogical tool is best used when combined with another didactic resource; There is urgency in the training of teachers in relation to the use of the tool in the classroom; The use of smartphones in the classroom contributes to the increase of students' intellectual autonomy; What use of smartphones in the classroom can contribute to the teaching and learning of students since the teacher makes use of alternative pedagogical practices in the school environment.
