O ensino da biologia no conectivismo: um olhar sobre a pedagogia Tiktok

Abstract

This work presents a study to verify the existence of content created in the area of Biology in Portuguese, on the social network TIKTOK. Through the use of the alluvial diagram, the scope and main resources used for the production of content with Hashtag Biology were measured. In addition, the scope of productions was compared between the Hashtags Chemistry and Biology, both belonging to the large area of Natural Sciences. As a result, there were 1.1 billion views of content in the area of Biology, in Portuguese. However, we were not able to identify the academic background of these creators. When compared to Chemistry, Biology has 211 videos and Chemistry has 20 videos, with more than 100,000 likes. Videos with the Hashtag Biology have a greater reach when they have a time between 16 seconds to 60 seconds, thus classifying, in connectivism, within nano-learning. In addition, the most frequent contents in the videos were those related to Zoology, Combating Fakenews and Human Physiology, in this sequence. Videos that use textual and verbal resources and are not fragmented tend to be more accepted by users.
