Sequência de Ensino Investigativa Sobre o Sistema Genito-Urinário Ovariano para Licenciandos/as em Ciências Biológicas

Abstract

This study aimed to develop an investigative teaching sequence on the ovarian genitourinary system, focusing on the initial training of undergraduate students in Biological Sciences. The research was developed within the activities of the Institutional Program for Teaching Initiation Scholarships (PIBID) at the Federal Institute Goiano (IF Goiano), Urutaí Campus, which seeks to promote a closer relationship between university education and the reality of basic education. The study emerged from the problematization of existing gaps in the approach to the female genitourinary system in teacher education and in the teaching materials used in science education. To this end, a documentary analysis of course syllabi and bibliographic materials was conducted, along with the application of a diagnostic questionnaire to undergraduate students of the Biological Sciences program, aiming to identify prior knowledge and pedagogical needs related to the topic. Based on the results obtained, an investigative teaching sequence grounded in inquiry-based teaching was developed, aiming to foster the problematization of the content and the active construction of knowledge. The results indicate that the approach to the female genitourinary system still occurs in a limited manner in initial teacher education, highlighting the need for pedagogical strategies that promote more critical and contextualized discussions about the female body in science education. Thus, the proposed sequence seeks to contribute to expanding reflections on this topic within teacher education.
