Promovendo a alfabetização científica e tecnológica através do ensino de Citologia no ensino médio: relatos de uma professora em formação

Abstract

This report describes the process of designing, organizing and developing a pedagogical workshop using didactic models for teaching Cytology, from the perspective of a resident of the Pedagogical Residency Program, with the aim of promoting Scientific and Technological Literacy in High School. The combination of practical activities with concrete visual resources, such as biscuit dough, paints, canvases and brushes, helped to assimilate cellular concepts, promoting deeper and more meaningful learning, as well as increasing student involvement and enabling greater interaction between them. The Cell Biology Workshop contributed to the development of fundamental skills, such as observation, description and interpretation of cytological concepts and phenomena. However, some challenges were identified, such as the need to adjust the time and space allocated to the activities and the diversification of materials due to the lack of financial resources. In the end, it was concluded that this approach helps to promote students' scientific literacy by bringing them closer to scientific elements and language, and can therefore be considered an effective strategy for improving the teaching and learning processes in Biology.
