O relato de uma atividade para o ensino de biofísica fundamentada em metodologias ativas de ensino

Abstract

In this work, we present a report of a teaching activity based on Blended Learning (BL) and Problem Based Learning (PBL). This educational proposal aims to produce the conditions for developing the skills required to understand the interactions between the hearing system and the knowledge of sound physics. Therefore, we drew up and presented to the students a text containing a problem situation, in which a person had a significant hearing loss due to unsanitary conditions at his workplace. With the text as a start point, the students held debates, individual studies and research so that, they could understand the situation proposed in details, based on the knowledge of physics. According to the observations and records, we point out the student participation during the debates in class, one of the main characteristics of educational activities based on active methodologies. About the aspects concerning to the learning of physics contents, the results of the assessments will be published in future studies, due to the limits imposed this kind of publication. However, preliminary results present that 77% of students achieved satisfactory performance. Keywords: Active methods; Blended Learning; Problem-based Learning; Higher education; Biophysics.
