Novas perspectivas metodológicas para o ensino de fungos: desenvolvido no sétimo ano da Escola Municipal de Ensino Fundamental Professor Afonso Pereira da Silva

Abstract

The fungi present in our daily lives are used in the most diverse areas of human interest, with very few studies in the most diverse aspects. In basic education, the content reserved for these organizations is little explored and at times brings some difficulties to students about this content. Observing this problem, we elaborated this research with the purpose of teaching the content about the Fungi kingdom in a dynamic way, using didactic procedures and innovative methodologies, seeking in this way a meaningful learning, with the objective of awakening in the students of the seventh year of elementary school a true interest on the topic. Theoretical classes were followed by practices with experiments that demonstrated the importance and proximity that human beings have to these organisms. The results of the pre and post-tests demonstrated that this methodology adopted in the teaching of fungi improved the understanding and fixation of the concepts about fungi by the students as well as a development of a critical sense about the theme.
