Um olhar transdisciplinar através das percepções discentes e docentes sobre a realidade do ensino de microbiologia em instituições escolares no município de Uruçuí-PI

Abstract

Microbiology is a modern science, but microorganisms are ancient, having been discovered many years ago and only studied many years later, as science and technology advanced. However, they are widely regarded as pathogenic and dangerous to human health. In this way, basic knowledge about Microbiology can be abstract for Basic Education students, mainly due to the superficial approach to contents related to microorganisms. Thus, the objective of this work is to evaluate the perceptions of students of the 2nd year of high school and Biology teachers from teaching institutions located in the municipality of Uruçuí - Piauí, about the reality of Microbiology teaching and its contextualization with the daily life of students. This is a qualitative exploratory-descriptive study. The research was developed in three stages: elaboration of questionnaires, application of questionnaires and data analysis. From the results achieved, it was possible to perceive that the previous perceptions of the students about microbiology is still abstract, many of the results that aimed to evaluate the level of knowledge of the students in relation to Microbiology were directed to the pathological area, and, in addition, it was possible to evidence that the contextualization of microbiology in day-to-day life is still small, and needs to be more relevant and addressed. Thus, it is necessary to seek solutions and strategies through the use of resources to make teaching more meaningful, such as planning more practical classes in order to arouse students' interest and make them authors of scientific knowledge
