Ebook multimídia-interativo como recurso pedagógico digital para o ensino de biotecnologia

Abstract

Several challenges were faced during the covid-19 pandemic, especially in public education, making it necessary for teachers to rethink their practices, developing new methodologies, such as Teaching by Investigation. Digital Information and Communication Technologies (TDIC) were fundamental during the face of the pandemic in schools, and ebook is a TDIC with investigative teaching potential. During the pandemic, a topic that stood out was Biotechnology, because several Biotechnological resources were used in its confrontation. Joining investigative teaching and TDICs to the teaching of Biotechnology as it is a necessary and relevant topic today and which will lead the student to become conscious, critical and active in society, this Master's thesis has as main objective the elaboration of a multimedia and interactive ebook on biotechnology as a Digital Information and Communication Technology (TDIC) tool to be used by students of the 3rd year of high school. The methodology used will be qualitative and exploratory, through a bibliographic review to support the elaboration and development of an ebook using available design tools, such as Canva. The ebook was elaborated from four Investigative Teaching Sequences (SEIs) and with a forecast that one will occupy 4 class hours of 50 minutes. In each SEI, which are independent, students will go through the stages of investigative teaching (surveying prior knowledge, raising hypotheses from problem situations, research, fixing concepts and general discussion of subjects), on current topics of biotechnology, such as: recombinant DNA, use of the virus in transgenics and production of genetic vaccines in context with the Coronavirus. It is expected, with the use of this TDIC, to develop investigative teaching skills in students and provide tools for teachers to work with Biotechnology, either in the face-to-face format or in the remote teaching format.
