Uso do instagram como ferramenta de aprendizagem da biologia em uma instituição pública de ensino no munícipio de Uruçuí - PI

Abstract

Instagram is currently one of the fastest growing social networks in terms of the number of users and has been used to share information from different areas of knowledge. In view of this, the following question arises: How can Biology teachers at the Instituto Federal do Piauí (IFPI) Uruçuí campus use Instagram's popularity to engage their students in their learning processes? The general objective of this research was to analyze the effectiveness of using Instagram in teaching Biology at a federal educational institution in the city of Uruçuí-PI. This is a field research, carried out from a qualitative-quantitative approach, which used two questionnaires as data collection instruments, through Google Forms. The research was conducted with students from two classes of the 3rd year of Technical Education Integrated with High School in Agroindustry and Agriculture, at the IFPI Uruçuí campus. The use of Instagram in the development of the research allowed a clearer view of the use of this social media at the institution studied. The results indicate that, despite the platform's potential, it is still little explored by teachers, revealing an opportunity to expand its use in the academic environment
