A eficiência das metodologias ativas no ensino de fungos: um estudo em uma escola estadual de Uruçuí-PI

Abstract

This work seeks to reflect on the use of active methodologies in teaching Science and Biology: a discussion on the diverse methodologies that can be adopted in the classroom to improve understanding about fungi. Starting from the problem question: how active methodologies can contribute to the teaching and learning process of Science and Biology. To reflect on this issue, our general objective is to analyze the efficiency of active methodologies in teaching fungi in a state school in the municipality of Uruçuí, state of Piauí. Specifically aiming to investigate the students’ level of prior knowledge on the topic of fungi before applying active methodologies; verify the effectiveness of active methodologies in retaining and applying the knowledge acquired about fungi by students; compare the academic performance of students exposed to active methodologies with those who received traditional teaching about fungi and understand what the main challenges are for teachers in adopting active methodologies in the classroom, demonstrating how this affects student learning. We opted for qualitative-quantitative research, involving the application of four questionnaires to 120 students in the 2nd year of high school and 1 teacher from a state school in the municipality of Uruçuí, State of Piauí, thus analyzing the data obtained through the questionnaires, relating them with the reality of national education. To support this research we used the contributions of authors such as: Lacerda and Abílio (2024) Santos (2022) Valente (2017) Fonseca and Maldonado (2020) Albuquerque (2021), among others. This research revealed to us that there are still many challenges and difficulties in teaching Science and Biology due to the lack of adequate resources and materials for teaching these subjects, with an excess of expository classes, which makes classes administration traditional and interferes with learning. Of the student. We believe that this study can contribute to future research. The intention is that new research can be carried out with the purpose of deepening and continuing this discussion
