Analysis of Ecology content in textbooks in Biology teaching PNLD 2018: The use of the Theory of Multiple Intelligences and approach on Aquatic Ecosystems
Investigative Teaching. Biology. Textbook.
The teaching of Biology presents challenges in relation to the approach of the contents so that they do not just become memorized and repeated. The use of investigative activities allows studentsto perceive content in a contextualized and integrated way into their daily lives, thus being able to act critically. Within this context, the main objective of this research was to verify whether the Biology textbooks of the PNLD 2018 used Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences, especially Naturalist Intelligence, to diversify the approach to content and activities; showing after analysis that the predominant intelligence is verbal/linguistic intelligence. After the analysis, a pedagogical guide was produced with suggestions for investigative activities and using the Theory of Multiple Intelligences as a pedagogical subsidy. With the implementation of the New High School in 2022, the pedagogical guide is a suggestion for a Guided Elective, according to the Curriculum in Motion of the New High School.
