THE TEACHING OF ARTHROPODS - AN INVESTIGATIVE APPROACH TO REMOTE AND PRESENTIAL TEACHING
Investigative teaching, didactic sequences, games.
Biology teaching is not an easy task, as most of the contents are abstract, with complex terms that are difficult to understand. For the contents to start to make sense, it is necessary that specific concepts and terms start to have a meaning for the student and, therefore, there is a better understanding, becoming relevant for the students. By promoting investigative activities, the teacher uses a more innovative didactic approach to teaching, where the student is not just a listener, but is the protagonist of his knowledge. In this sense, this work aims to create investigative teaching strategies for the development of arthropod content for first-year high school students, which can be applied both in remote and in-class teaching. These strategies include didactic sequences and games, which will serve as tools for investigative teaching, which can be used to foster research in the classroom and complement the students' learning process. This is expected to awaken investigative thinking in the student, through problem solving, providing an adequate environment for the construction of scientific knowledge, where they can reflect, question and interact to solve a problem-situation, and thus make the teaching of largest group of invertebrates, arthropods, more pleasurable and interesting. Diagnostic questionnaires will also be applied before and after the didactic interventions to verify the students' learning.
