O uso da aprendizagem baseada em problemas (ABP) na abordagem de doenças de veiculação hídrica com alunos da educação básica de Uruçuí, PI

Abstract

Problem-Based Learning (ABP) is a methodology that uses pre-established problems or scenarios for students to achieve the learning objectives established by the teacher. Therefore, the ABP can be adapted for the discussion of several relevant topics, including aspects related to waterborne diseases, diseases that are relevant from a sanitary and epidemiological point of view. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the applicability of ABP to the discussion of waterborne diseases in the 7th year of Elementary School and to analyze the contributions of the use of this methodology in the students' learning. To achieve the general objective, the following specific objectives were defined: diagnose the level of knowledge about waterborne diseases of students in two 7th grade classes of Elementary School; Give an expository-dialogued class on the topic in both classes; Carry out a dynamics based on the ABP in one of the two classes; To compare, through a questionnaire, the performance of the group that performed the dynamics with that of the group that did not; to evaluate the advantages of using ABP as a teaching method. It is an experimental research with a quantitative approach and the methodological process will be based on the work of Castro and Verçosa (2018). The intervention was carried out with students from a 7th grade class of Elementary School II from a public school in the city of Uruçuí, municipality in the state of Piauí. Based on the results obtained, it was noticed that the students had previous knowledge about the topic of water transmission, it was observed that both the lecture and the class with a problem-based approach were important for the construction of student learning, since , in both groups there was a significant number of correct answers in questionnaire two, which also demonstrates that lectures are efficient when associated with some didactic medium. In this way, we point out that the diversified teaching methodologies are structured as important teaching tools, in addition, Problem-Based Learning (ABP) proved to be applicable and satisfactory
