A pesquisa em educação/ensino em ictiologia: análise dos trabalhos publicados nos Anais do Congresso Brasileiro de Zoologia (Período 2012 - 2020)

Abstract

Zoology, a branch of biology that studies animals, is crucial for understanding and preserving wildlife. Within it, Ichthyology stands out in the study of fish, from their anatomy to their behavior. The content of Ichthyology is often taught to students in a superficial and rigid manner, despite the various ways it can be approached more comprehensively. This study aims to analyze the scientific research published in the annals of the Brazilian Congress of Zoology (CBZ) from 2012 to 2020 and the contribution of studies on Ichthyology focused on the field of Education/teaching. It is a qualitative research, based on the bibliographic research method and using the content analysis technique. From the analysis of the abstracts, there is a predominance of published works on Ecology and Faunal Inventory compared to works published on Teaching and Environmental Education in Ichthyology. Regarding the Levels/Modalities of Education, the formal space presents the highest percentage, and in relation to Didactic Modalities, Practical classes are highlighted, and within Teaching Resources and Instruments, Photographs stand out. Concerning the research approach, the authors did not highlight it in any of the works, and in Research Methodology, none specify which was used. Within Data Collection Techniques, Interviews stand out considerably, and in Data Analysis Techniques, none of the authors indicate which were used. It is concluded that the CBZ presents a scarcity of works focused on Ichthyology in Education between 2012 and 2020, highlighting the need for more research and initiatives that explore and strengthen the relationship between Ichthyology and Education/Teaching..
