Artigo de revisão sobre o uso de imagens como instrumento facilitador no processo de ensino/aprendizagem nas disciplinas de Ciências e Biologia

Abstract

This article presents a review study on the use of images as a facilitating tool in the teaching/learning process in the subjects of Science and Biology. The utilization of images in the educational context has proven to be an effective strategy in assisting students in understanding complex concepts and developing scientific skills. The research was conducted through a review of articles published in the last 7 years. Articles from scientific journals that addressed the subject matter were selected. The search was performed using keywords related to the use of images and the teaching/learning of Science and Biology in the Google Scholar and CAPES databases. The review results indicate that the use of images in the teaching of Science and Biology can significantly contribute to students' understanding of the content. Images provide a visual representation of abstract concepts, allowing for better visualization and assimilation of information. In addition to sparking students' interest and curiosity, making the learning process more motivating and stimulating. It was also found that it is crucial for teachers to promote student interaction with images, stimulating critical analysis, reflection, and hypothesis generation.
