Abstract

Teaching methodologies are recurrent guidelines in discussions within schools. Using innovative alternatives to work on subjects such as Mycology, can represent an effective tool to improve learning. In this sense, the use of educational resources such as comic books (HQ’s) is an alternative means that can contribute to the teaching and learning process. The general objective was to provide opportunities for students' learning and self-knowledge through the creation and verification of the relevance of comic books as a methodology for Mycology in High School. In addition, the objective was also: to carry out together with the students a critical analysis of the fungus content in the available textbook; develop a Didactic Sequence to address mycology in high school from the use of HQ’s; to propose the construction under the aid of the Comic Life 3 tool, of a booklet with the History of Comics about fungi, as an alternative tool to facilitate the learning of Mycology in high school and, to evaluate the students' learning before and after the construction and use of the booklet with Comics, through the application of questionnaires. The research took place with a 2nd year class containing 20 students, in a public state school in the municipality of Cristino Castro - PI. To carry out the research, a qualitative and quantitative approach was used. Initially, the project was presented and detailed to the school's management nucleus and to the students, later being carried out in two stages: 1) presentation of the project and construction of an action plan; 2) development of the action plan (observation and discussion of the content of Mycology in the textbook; theoretical classes and application of an investigative questionnaire; knowing, building and learning from HQs; reapplying an investigative questionnaire. It was observed that since the construction process, until the use of HQ's as a didactic resource in the classroom, there was a contribution to the students' learning, since they worked on aspects that developed the critical and reflective side with the creation of a didactic and creative sequence with the production of HQ's. In addition, it was observed that the average responses obtained in the questionnaires applied before and after the construction and use of the HQ's, as well as the greater interactivity, involvement and participation of the students demonstrated Introdução 5 in fact the effectiveness of the method for learning. of the students, a booklet of 20 comic pages was made with the story entitled: “Amanita, Morchella and Pilobolus: a the conversation between fungi ”. Based on the experience, a didactic sequence was proposed: “Working fungi in a critical and creative way”.
