O ensino de genética na educação básica: revisão bibliográfica e produção de modelos didáticos

Abstract

Given that the teaching of biology developed in schools is still carried out in the traditional, contentist manner, almost always far from the reality of the students, not being used different resources and methodologies for the implementation of the classes, this research aimed to conduct a literature review. on the teaching of genetics in Brazil, highlighting the conceptual and evolutionary aspects as well as producing innovative didactic models for the theoretical and / or practical classes of genetics content in high school, made available for use in genetics classes, making them more enjoyable. , and enabling the expansion of learning and performance in this area of knowledge. It had a bibliographical approach with production of didactic material. Data collection was based on bibliographic research, books and journal portals that included publications on the subject of this study, in the national and local context. The construction of didactic models can be considered an effective tool in the method-content articulation and is a representative process, using the development of three-dimensional biscuit models. These models are accessible resources that increase understanding of genetics topics, reducing the level of abstraction through tactile learning. Research as a result demonstrates that the use of biscuit models are important motivating strategies, making classes more participatory between students and teacher, and thus contributes effectively to learning concepts related to genetics among many other skills, with significant gains. in the teaching and learning process.
