Abordagem sobre aprendizagem significativa: práticas pedagógicas no ensino de genética para alunos do ensino médio em Viçosa do Ceará -CE

Abstract

Contents such as cytogenetics and Mendel's first law are commonly worked in the teaching of biological sciences, in basic education and by the abstract content of these, students present some difficulty in assimilating them. In this way, the present work approached the presentation of pedagogical practices related to the processes of cell division, human karyotypes and mono hybrid crossing, with the aim of proposing a didactic methodology for the teaching of Genetics, promoting students' interest, motivation and interaction for a learning process. For this, we presented the assembly of didactic models representative of the DNA molecule, chromosomes, stages of cell division, besides the simulation of a cross between flowers based on Mendel's first law. These pedagogical practices were applied specifically to students enrolled in the 3rd grade of the secondary school of Dr. Júlio de Carvalho School, located in the municipality of Viçosa do Ceará-CE. When these activities were carried out, it was possible to observe a considerable participation of the students in the didactic process in order to build the knowledge, and stimulated the socialization of these activities so that the students could perceive the importance of the teaching-learning process and if they feel authors of this process with role in education. In addition, this work allowed the overcoming of many learning difficulties, aimed at the teaching of Genetics in the discipline of Biology
