A utilização de caixas entomológicas como ferramenta facilitadora do ensino aprendizagem para o estudo dos insetos em uma escola da rede federal em Floriano

Abstract

Entomological boxes are important records of the existence of species in time and space, being a crucial tool for studying insects, as well as assisting in taxonomy studies, and also as a didactic tool in education. As didactic material for Basic Education schools, entomological collections can be low-cost and have the ability to make classes more attractive and motivating, as well as contributing to reducing the repulsive characteristics commonly associated with insects. Thus, this study used a didactic entomological collection in the classroom to investigate their contribution to student learning in a federal school in Floriano. The results demonstrate that entomological boxes are important tools for studying insects in the teaching-learning process. It is also noted that the use of this type of methodological tool for teaching makes the class more interesting and efficient, providing students with a theoretical and practical contact with insects present in their everyday lives.
