JOURNALS IN BOOKS AS A METHODOLOGICAL RESOURCE LUDIC IN TEACHING BIOLOGY: A PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE IN BASIC EDUCATION

Abstract

One of the great challenges for biology teachers is still the lack of teaching materials that can mediate and improve students' understanding of the contents taught. Thus, the work aimed to produce and use comic books as a methodological tool for the teaching and learning of transgenics. For that, the application Comics was used to create the characters and the Microsoft Word 2013 program for formatting. The resource was applied at Leônidas Monte State Public School in Abaetetuba - Pará during the monitoring of PIBID. With the application of a satisfaction questionnaire, we obtained that 67% of the students had no previous knowledge about transgenic foods, 75% stated that the magazine made it easier to understand the subject, 67% want this methodology to be applied in other classes, 75 % found the magazine dynamic, fun and stimulating in learning the content and 87% liked the magazine in general. In an interview, the class teacher considered that because it was a material with illustrations, simple and fun language, the magazine facilitated the assimilation of the content. We consider the results satisfactory, with positive receptivity of the methodology by both the students and the teacher of the application class.
