Título: Biotecnologia aplicada ao ensino de microbiologia: uma abordagem investigativa para alunos do ensino médio Autor(es): Silva, Laycia Cristina de Almeida Orientador: Santos, Fábio Marcel da Silva Abstract: The teaching of microbiology, often associated solely with diseases, tends to generate limited interest among students, highlighting the need for pedagogical approaches that broaden this perception. This study aimed to promote a contextualized and positive understanding of the beneficial applications of microorganisms, using inquiry-based teaching as the central approach. This is a qualitative study, characterized as participant research, conducted with 24 students from the 2nd year of high school at Escola Cidadã Integral Estadual Bonifácio Saraiva de Moura, located in Monte Horebe, Paraíba, Brazil. The study was carried out over the course of 12 classes of 50 minutes each, between February and December 2025. The activities were organized into three investigative didactic sequences that compose the Educational Product of this research. Empirical material was produced through field notes in a research journal, photographic records, open-ended questionnaires, mind maps, and written productions, which were analyzed using Thematic Analysis. In the first sequence, students reorganized their ideas, replacing the initial conception of “microbe = disease” with “microbe = solution,” encompassing applications in health, the environment, agriculture, and industry. In the second sequence, students understood the fermentation process by associating carbon dioxide production with yeast metabolism and relating it to the production of bread and fermented beverages. In the third sequence, students expanded their initial understanding, moving from a limited view to recognizing the importance of microorganisms for environmental preservation and biotechnological applications. These results reinforce the effectiveness of inquiry-based methodology and the use of digital resources in promoting meaningful and contextualized learning. The final evaluation indicated that the activities were considered relevant for learning, fostering critical thinking, teamwork, and motivation to study microbiology. The Educational Product presents the set of three didactic sequences, including objectives, contents, competencies and skills aligned with the Brazilian National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), resources, methods, and assessment instruments. It is adaptable to different school contexts, low-cost, and has high potential for classroom implementation. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: Dissertação

Título: Ensino investigativo sobre alimentação saudável no ambiente escolar Autor(es): Araújo, José Cláudio Gomes de Orientador: Menegatti, Angela Camila Orbem Abstract: Healthy eating plays a fundamental role in health and, especially, in students’ academic performance. Therefore, this research aimed to address food education in Biology teaching, exploring the composition of food and its relationship with the human body in order to raise students’ awareness of the importance of balanced dietary choices. The main objective of this work was to implement an inquiry-based instructional sequence on healthy eating, with a focus on understanding the chemical composition of food and contributing to possible changes in students’ eating habits. A qualitative approach was adopted, using participatory research as the methodological strategy, which involved data collection through questionnaires, interviews, and classroom observations. The study was conducted at the Creusa de Freitas Cavalcanti High School, located in Macaparana, Pernambuco, with 38 students from a third-year high school class. The stages of the instructional sequence included problematization, debates, consultation of reference materials from specialized organizations, a lecture delivered by a health professional, and bibliographic research on the functions and properties of biomolecules. Additionally, students carried out interviews with residents and students from different sociocultural contexts, broadening their understanding of eating practices. The project culminated in the production of an educational newspaper, which was later distributed to the school community. The results indicated that the inquiry-based methodology fostered student protagonism, expanding their understanding of the relationship between biomolecules and nutrition. Moreover, student engagement promoted a practical and meaningful approach, encouraging reflection on more conscious dietary choices. It was concluded that the implemented strategy strengthened the understanding of academic content and fostered positive changes in participants’ eating habits.

Título: A construção de um Blog como estratégia de ensino sobre prevenção da gravidez indesejada em adolescentes e IST na educação de jovens e adultos Autor(es): Lima, Tiago Teodosio Frutuoso de Orientador: Cantalice, Temilce Simões de Assis Abstract: The topic of sex education in Brazil is still surrounded by taboo numbers. The search for work to prevent teenage pregnancies and to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs), therefore, comes up against several difficulties in the face of the growing conservative movement in the country. Thus, an emancipatory approach to sex education allows to educate and become the protagonist of their decisions. For this accomplishment, you can use the active methodologies and digital information and communication technologies (TDIC) in the classroom. Due to the relevance of the theme and the importance of offering the public an accessible and interactive product, work is promoted that leads to information on preventing early pregnancy and STIs through a digital channel, or blog, a tool that it allows the dissemination of information to everyone connected to the Internet. In this way, you seek to foster the protagonism and investigate the studies of the 3rd segment of Youth and Adult Education, at the Henrique Vieira de Melo Municipal Integrated School, located in São Miguel de Taipu-PB, on the subject. For this, it made use of the active methodology, through action research, in the search for data and in the elaboration of strategies, such as the use of didactic sequences, workshops, diverse discussions, besides the creation of blogs. The use of the questionnaire, pre-test and post-test was important, as well as the debates in the classroom during the realization of the didactic sequences and the workshop. After the research was carried out, it was noticed that the blog fulfilled its function of disseminating information on pregnancy and STI prevention to school students and the whole community.

Título: Aprimorando a compreensão da seleção natural: uma abordagem através de metodologias ativas para a educação no ensino da Biologia Autor(es): Albuquerque, Dannylson Soares de Orientador: Colavite, Alessandre Pereira Abstract: Understanding evolutionary processes is essential for educating scientifically informed citizens. With the implementation of the New High School Curriculum and the adoption of the National Common Curricular Base (BNCC), it has become necessary to revise the approach to core Biology topics, such as Natural Selection, and consider new pedagogical guidelines. Recognizing Natural Selection as a central mechanism in the evolution of species provides a solid foundation for understanding biodiversity and the adaptation of organisms to their environments. This study aimed to develop investigative teaching sequences on Natural Selection, focusing on its main types (directional, stabilizing, and disruptive), by employing active methodologies to promote student agency and critical thinking. The implementation of three teaching sequences involved data collection and analysis, hypothesis formulation, and group discussions. The use of active methodologies to teach Natural Selection and its various types resulted in a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of evolutionary mechanisms among students. They began to recognize Natural Selection as a central process in explaining biodiversity and the adaptation of organisms to their environments and were able to apply these concepts in practical situations, such as the analysis of real or simulated evolutionary scenarios. This work aimed to report on the experience of transforming teaching practices through the application of active methodologies, with an emphasis on inquiry-based learning, Problem- Based Learning (PBL), and gamification. The proposal stemmed from the need to make lessons more meaningful, fostering greater student interest and participation. Through inquiry-based learning, students were observed to shift from a passive to a more active role in constructing knowledge, demonstrating curiosity, engagement, and autonomy. The incorporation of PBL contributed to the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills by presenting contextualized challenges that required research, reflection, and collaborative work. Gamification, by incorporating playful elements such as scoring, rewards, and levels, increased student motivation and fostered a more participatory and interactive learning environment. The results demonstrated significant improvements in learning, including increased classroom participation, enhanced academic performance, and the development of socio-emotional skills. It is concluded that the adoption of these methodologies fosters more active, autonomous, and meaningful learning, proving to be an effective strategy for educating critical and creative students who are better prepared to face the challenges of contemporary society.
