Desafios do ensino de ciências biológicas na educação a distância

Abstract

This final paper addresses the challenges and strategies associated with teaching Biological Sciences in the Distance Learning (EAD) modality. The research uses a qualitative approach, based on the documentary analysis of pedagogical plans and academic reports, with the objective of understanding the difficulties faced by students and the pedagogical strategies employed in this modality. The results indicate that students face challenges such as the need to balance work and study, deal with technological difficulties and maintain motivation in a remote environment. The lack of face-to-face practices was highlighted as a limitation for the understanding of practical content, while pedagogical strategies based on digital technologies and interactive activities proved to be useful tools, but still little explored. In conclusion, the study proposes the implementation of educational policies that expand support for students in EAD, including greater use of interactive technologies and hybrid practices for activities that require practical experimentation. Such measures aim to contribute to the quality and effectiveness of teaching Biological Sciences in the distance learning modality.
