O LÚDICO NO ENSINO DE BIOLOGIA: O ESTUDO DOS PROTOZOÁRIOS NUMA ESCOLA DE ENSINO MÉDIO NA CIDADE DE POSSE/GO

Abstract

The teaching of Biology presents many complex terms, so that it is difficult to awaken students' interest in the knowledge that is being covered and even today the most frequently used methodology is the traditional one. There are several resources that can make the class more attractive and ensure more meaningful learning. In this sense, the following question arises: how can a playful proposal help in the study of protozoa in Biology classes in high school? Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the contributions of a playful proposal for teaching the Protista Kingdom in the Biology discipline, in a high school in the city of Posse/GO. The methodology was divided into four moments, class observation; application of a questionnaire in order to assess their prior knowledge; implementation of the playful proposal and analysis of the results obtained from the application in the classroom and the answers to the questionnaire. The results demonstrated that even though students have had contact with the Protoctista kingdom, they do not have solid information, and are uncertain about the subject. Therefore, it is clear that students prefer moments that involve the playful part and that will, in a certain way, facilitate their learning.
