O ensino de sistemas do corpo humano: trabalhando o autocuidado, saude e prevenção no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The study highlights the fundamental importance of health education and a comprehensive understanding of the human body in shaping healthy lifestyle choices and promoting self-care. Its overall objective is to develop an analysis that illustrates how self-care, health and prevention are being integrated into the teaching of human body systems in the context of elementary school. To achieve this purpose, a comprehensive bibliographical search was carried out in periodicals indexed in the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel (CAPES) and Google Scholar, using keywords relevant to the scope of the project. The analysis covered not only the content of the articles, but also the methodologies adopted, the objectives set and the results obtained by the selected studies. The findings revealed that students have a certain level of understanding and awareness about the importance of self-care and health preservation. However, the literature review highlighted a significant gap in terms of the availability of work and practical approaches aimed at this topic. A total of 11 projects were thoroughly evaluated, ranging from practical approaches in the classroom to bibliographic analyzes and the application of playful methodologies. However, the most relevant finding was the lack of practical implementation of these concepts with students, which compromises, to a certain extent, the effectiveness of the process of assimilating content related to human body systems, self-care and health. This gap suggests the need for a more comprehensive and integrated approach that incorporates not only the theoretical aspect, but also practical application and the active involvement of students in the teaching/learning process.
