Conhecimento dos alunos formados em licenciatura em biologia a partir de uma análise do enade

Abstract

The purpose of the present work was to carry out an analysis of the performance of undergraduate students in Biological Sciences in the evaluation of the National Student Performance Examination (Enade), regarding the objective and discursive items of the general training component, and with that, to point out the percentages obtained by them, as well as identifying the students' greatest difficulties when answering the discursive items and proposing justifications capable of clarifying this problem. The research was based on Enade's summary reports, extracting data from the Biological Sciences course for the years 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2021 regarding the performance and complexities of students in the knowledge tests general points pointed out by the evaluators of the speech items. The work has a quanti-qualitative approach, since the data were presented in a quantifiable way and also interpreted in the light of a theoretical framework. Data relating to student performance in tests show that over the years of application there are deficits in their training that precede entry into higher education and that the latter does not seem to have been able to remedy them. In the 2021 edition, there were more students with deficits, which may have been motivated by the distance from the academic environment during the pandemic period, which caused effects that significantly impacted their relationship with reading and writing, resulting in averages lowest ever recorded, which makes government policies in education geared to student demand more urgent.
