Aulas práticas como suporte para o ensino da evolução dos seres vivos, uma experiência com as turmas do Ensino Médio

Abstract

This work is the result of the production of activities on the teaching of the "Evolution of Living Beings" in Basic Education, a research developed with students of the 3rd Year, of High School, of the Dom Gino Malvestio State School, in the municipality of Parintins/AM. In the context of the classroom, teachers face some obstacles when working on the theme, such as conceptual difficulties, sociocultural issues and didactic strategies that contribute to the understanding of the key concepts of evolutionary theory, given that it is a content often considered complex impacting on the understanding of students, requiring a differentiated didactics to meet such difficulties. The proposal of this TCC was the elaboration and application of practical classes for the teaching of Biology, with emphasis on contents on Evolution, which consisted of three dynamic, attractive and significant practical classes, in order to deepen the reflections on evolutionary theory, in a biological context and history. The results were very significant, demonstrating the need to streamline and implement practical activities in the teaching of Biology, a notorious fact in the performance of the group of students involved in the research, after the application of the practice, where the performance improved considerably.
