ACTIVE METHODOLOGIES: DIDATIC SEQUENCE AS A PEDAGOGIC ALTERNATIVE TO THE TEACHING OF BOTANY

KEY WORDS:

SUMMARY:

The botany field of study has shown to be in need of teaching methodologies that draw attention, not only from the students, but also from teachers. This is due to a problematic that desolate this field, named: botanical blindness. One of the characteristhics of botanical blindness is the human inability to recognize the importance of plants in the biosphere and in our daily life, as well as its aesthetical and biological aspects and also as living beings. With the intention to minimize this deadlock, an e-book has been created with an Investigative Didactic Sequence (IDS) composed of active methodologies like pedagogic alternatives to the teaching of botany, prioritazing the students protagonism. For the selection of the botany theme, a diagnostic searching quiz has been aplied to biology teachers from the Unaí-MG city state schools, wich were mapped to facilitate the contact with the participants. The main problematizing question of the quiz was: “Wich of the botany subjects is the one that teachers have the most trouble in teaching?”. As a result, the Vegetable Phisiology was obtained. On this theme, based on bibliographic researchs, the tropism and nastism approach was preferred. In front of the results obtained from the quiz, was made the e-book with the IDS composed of active methodologies like reflections, debates, peer researches, field classes, ilustrative drawings, expositions and selfauthorship games. Between the activities proposed, by the field of study, the contact of the student directly with nature, and by the games, the contact with the Digital Technologies of Information and Communication (DTIC) were guaranteed, approaching and stimulating them to the discipline of Botany with their everyday life digital reality, without losing a straight link with the environment. The teachers that participated in the diagnostic quiz received the link to the e-book for evaluation by the evaluating quiz, so that it was readjusted according to suggestions appointed by the participant teachers. From the 22 (twenty-two) participants of the diagnostic research, 20 (twenty) accepted receiving the link to the product for evaluation, although 11 (eleven) did the return of the evaluative quiz, totalizing 55%. Even with the reduction of the participants, the research was not damaged, because the answers were kept constant. The discursive answers were analised and compilated in categories and subcategories with the aim to evaluate the contentist, methodological, and aestethical e-book aspects, cooperating with the confection of a educational product of quality. One of the challenging matters to the execution of the proposal may be the low number of devices with internet access for executing the games. To minimize this question, was suggested that this activity must be done in groups. The purpose of the IDS was to instigate and to enrich the Botany classes and assist these teachers on mitigating the vicious cycle of botanical blindness, culurally established on them and on their students. According to the analysis of the results, it is believed that the goals of the research were met. In addition to colaborating with the teachers, it is expected that this research may contribute with other scientifical researches with analogous purpouses.
