Infográficos sobre fisiologia humana : coadjuvantes para o ensino e para a aprendizagem no ensino médio

Abstract

The way biology is taught is in constant flux, largely as a result of student learning. The purpose of this work was to determine if the infographic is effective in facilitating and enhancing the teaching and learning of human physiology among high school students. Through the approach of teaching by research, purpose of the Professional Pos-Graduation Program in Biology Teaching was associated with the use the language of digital culture for the teaching and learning of Human Physiology in the third year of students of high school at a state school in Rondonópolis/MT raised hypotheses about the most common diseases related to the system of the chosen human body, investigated with acquaintances what they knew about the system and what diseases related to it. They compared the search results with information from the literature and produced infographics with the information obtained and results obtained. The classes have been conducted online, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The students had basic notions of scientific thought and, with the research, they could appropriate helpful knowledge and were able to reflect on their health, they also saw the infographics as allies to improve their learning. The educational product resulting from this work was a didactic guide with guidelines for constructing infographics on Human Physiology- about the spleen, human blood, and urinary/renal system- and a brief description of the activity performed. The limitations of this work refer to the use and construction of static infographics animated and interactive with more possibilities and the application of investigative activity with various physiological systems, because the more specific approach, with a physiological system or organ, is more facilitated. It is hoped that this work can be used and inspire other biology teachers to use infographics to assist investigative teaching and learning of human physiology, as well as other subjects.
