Estratégia didática para o ensino sobre vírus com ênfase no papilomavírus humano

Abstract

The present work aims to report the experience of applying two teaching strategies with the use of alternative resources for the virus teaching, with emphasis on Human Papillomavirus (HPV). This experiment was carried out in the environment of two schools of the state network of Manaus, with a class of 6th year of primary education and two classes of 3rd year of high school during science and biology classes. Our goal is to consider the importance of the vaccine to prevent virus and the use of condoms as a necessary behavior. The activity was divided into three moments: 1) observation of the methodology used by the teacher and the resources offered by the school space; 2) interview with groups of students and with two teachers; 3) analysis of previous knowledge and application of strategy. It’s verified that students have difficult in assimilating the contents approached in science and biology and believe that with the use of new forms to approach the content could provide them a better comprehension, making learning meaningful.
