A importância das aulas práticas para a disciplina de biologia: a perspectiva dos alunos do 3° ano da escola Jeanete Souza, Parnaíba-PI

Abstract

The present study is based on the importance of practical classes for the enrichment and complementation of the learning process. Thus, the objective was to verify the importance given by the students to the use of practical classes in the discipline of Biology, since it is demonstrated in several works the difficulty of understanding on the part of the students in relation to certain contents of this discipline. The research was carried out at the Jeanete Sousa School Unit located in the city of Parnaíba-PI, with students from the 3rd year of high school as research subjects. For the construction of the data, questionnaires with open and closed questions were applied to 43 students. The results showed that most students are interested in the biology discipline, and at the same time have called genetics the most complex content, probably because of the degree of abstraction in their contents as well as because they contain calculations or concepts and more difficult terminologies for the student assimilate. It was verified that the students of the shift of Tarde showed a greater preference for practical classes, and this group was also the one that opted for practical classes. However, it is also possible to infer that the theoretical classes are not without their importance, as evidenced by the significant percentages related to theoretical classes
