Abordagem interativa na educação ambiental para o ensino de biologia por meio da ludicidade no ensino médio profissionalizante

Abstract

Teaching biology-related content is considered a challenge for educators because of the difficult task of creating attractive and easy-to-understand interdisciplinary methodologies for students.The use of dynamic strategies can influence the understanding of biological content taught in the classroom. This article proposed to carry out an analysis of a pedagogical intervention in the interdisciplinary teaching of Biology considering the content taught in a technical high school course. A board game about the environment was developed and questionnaires on the understanding, participation and receptiveness of the students to the dynamics were applied, extracting from the observed practical and theoretical classes the content that would feed the didactic proposal. The board game stimulated the recollection of knowledge covered in previous classes, serving as an attractive didactic tool for the interdisciplinary teaching of biology. The questionnaires revealed not only a positive receptiveness on the part of the students, but also a tangible increase in active participation in the classroom and understanding of the topics covered. The interdisciplinary approach to environmental education associated with games proved to be effective in helping students understand biological content and confirmed the importance of playfulness as a pedagogical strategy capable of promoting the participation of students of secondary schools integrated to professional and technological education.
