ROTAÇÃO POR ESTAÇÕES COMO ESTRATÉGIA DE ENSINO EM ECOLOGIA NO CERRADO: UM ESTUDO EM UM COLÉGIO EM CALDAS NOVAS

Abstract

This research is focuses on the use of the Hybrid Active Methodology of Station for Rotation as a teaching strategy to study about Ecology.It aimed to answer the following guiding question: “How would a Station for Rotation approach assist the process in Ecology learn, focusing in Brazilian Cerrado preservation?” We aimed to study the teaching-learning process through the development of activities based on Hybrid Teaching, using Station to Rotation, in Ecology Education, with students from the 1st year of High School. We conducted a qualitative and Descriptive Field Research, with two steps: the first, a Bibliographical Research, and the second, the Field Research. The research was conducted at a State School of the Military Police of Goiás (SSMPG). The participants were 33 students from a class of the 1st year of High School and 13 teachers who taught classes to them.These students also contributed to the evaluation of the Station to Rotation activities and Ecology learn. An e-book titled “The Use of Station for Rotation as a Teaching and Learning Strategy in Ecology” was developed and subsequently was evaluated by the participating teachers. The data were based on Bardin's Content Analysis, considering the researcher's notes in our Field Diary throughout that research. For this, we used tables, reflexive observation and data categorization. We believe that e-book can assist teachers in promoting classes aligned with Active Methodologies, enabling their students to build a more autonomous and motivating learning experience about Ecology and the Brazilian Cerrado. That research has shown the relevance of applying this methodology, as the proposal sparked the interest of our students, favoring and stimulating collaborative work and critical-reflexive thinking about environmental education and active social participation.
