CONVERTENDO MEDO EM POSSIBILIDADES: PLATAFORMA DE ENSINO PARA O CONTEÚDO DE FOTOSSÍNTESE

Abstract

Considering the importance of photosynthesis for maintaining life and the difficulties in teaching and learning this content, this master's research aimed at the development and validation of a virtual platform on the photosynthesis process aimed at Science and Biology teachers. The platform (http://www.cmepenergiacelular.online/) presents a variety of resources (activities, experiments, articles, flash cards, didactic sequences, video links, online games, curiosities and courses and products) based on the rescue of knowledge students' prior experience, correlation with everyday life for meaningful learning and student autonomy, and the teacher's mediating role. The validation of the platform was carried out with professors of Science and Biology from the Profbio do Espírito Santo network and had two virtual moments: a questionnaire to analyze the profile of the participants and a questionnaire after exploring the platform. The tool was very well evaluated by the teachers, having received some suggestions for improvement and many speeches about its potential. The platform seems to have met the demands and anxieties of teachers regarding the teaching of photosynthesis.
