Metodologias utilizados no ensino de Biotecnologia na Educação Básica: uma revisão literária

Abstract

In the context of teaching Biotechnology in Basic Education, the use of appropriate methodologies can be crucial to facilitate students' understanding of complex concepts. Therefore, educators are expected to seek approaches that make content more accessible and stimulating. This work is a bibliographical review that investigated the practices used in teaching Biotechnology in elementary and secondary level methodologies, with the aim of identifying effective pedagogical practices and promoting discussion on strategies to improve the teaching of these topics. 21 articles considered suitable for the study were selected from a search carried out on the Google Scholar platform. The analysis of these articles allowed us to examine different pedagogical approaches, such as: didactic sequences, practical classes, games and didactic workshops, comic book production and criminal investigation. The results highlight the importance of these methodologies in making Biotechnology teaching more accessible and engaging, providing students with a deeper understanding of biological principles and practical applications of Biotechnology. This review offers important insights for Biology teachers in developing innovative strategies for teaching Biotechnology in Basic Education. Furthermore, the research highlights the importance of these methodologies to promote student engagement, stimulate critical and creative thinking, and develop practical skills relevant to the area of Biotechnology. The need to adapt methodologies to the specific context of each educational institution and the characteristics of students is also recognized, aiming to achieve meaningful learning.
