O uso de tecnologias digitais para promoção da alfabetização científica: uma abordagem investigativa para o ensino dos transgênicos

Abstract

The discussion of controversial topics and related to biotechnology is worked in the school in an unsatisfactory way. As an example, the theme "transgenic" that does not generate opinions based on scientific knowledge and students are limited to common knowledge, being necessary to explore it in the classroom. The objective of the work was to use digital technologies for the study of transgenics and recombinant DNA technique, to promote scientific literacy in a high school in Minas Gerais. Before the beginning of the didactic sequence, knowledge was applied in order to verify the students' knowledge of the subject. During the class, the professor showed a picture about transgenics, protein synthesis to contextualize the subject and then presented two investigative questions. In another step, the teacher applied a Podcast with a script for its elaboration. Students will use the Padlet app for publication and discussion of the subject. At the end of the didactic sequence, a question of opinion about the activities was applied. The research was developed using content analysis methodology, which involves pre-analysis, material exploration and data processing. The results will contribute to the elaboration of an educational product as activities to promote the investigative didactic sequence to promote scientific literacy.
