Abstract

The present work is the result of a research carried out during the undergraduate course in Biological Sciences, which aimed to investigate the didactic tools that arouse the interest of students contributing to the promotion of meaningful learning. Therefore, the theoretical framework is based on the works Vasconcelos, Praia and Almeida (2003), Bosso (2014), Moreira (2012), among others referring to the possible existing forms of teaching. Students from the 8th grade classes at Escola Estadual Danilo Corrêa participated in the research. For data collection, questionnaires referring specifically to the Teaching of Sciences, as well as a period of observation of the teaching practice of the school. After the observation period, different strategies were applied to the students, developed by the researcher, with the objective of arousing the students' interest in Teaching in the discipline of Natural Sciences. Then, the last questionnaire was applied in order to seek the perceptions of the students in relation to the use of diversified strategies in Teaching. The results achieved show the contribution of different active methodologies to the process of an emancipatory teaching, strategies strongly capable of meeting the needs faced by the School in relation to infrastructure.
