Sequência didática para o ensino médio: explorando os grupos sanguíneos através de métodos investigativos e jogos

Abstract

This work developed an innovative methodology for Biology Education, addressing the educational needs of students through a qualitative approach, specifically action research. It involved senior high school students from a public school in the municipality of Piracema - MG. The proposal included the creation of an inquiring didactic sequence applying accessible technologies, such as an activity involving "artificial blood" and the development of an educational virtual game. The content covered in the didactic sequence included fundamental concepts of Genetics, with an emphasis on understanding the inheritance of blood groups and highlighting their importance in procedures such as transfusions and paternity tests. The main objective was to provide an interactive and engaging experience for students, enabling them to understand and simulate the principles of blood group inheritance in a practical and enjoyable way. The proposal sought to integrate education and entertainment, using gaming platforms as educational tools to teach genetic concepts related to blood group inheritance. By combining inquiring teaching and virtual games, the project aimed to offer a more dynamic approach to scientific knowledge, leveraging students' prior knowledge of technologies. The strategy aimed not only to enhance students' cognitive development but also to stimulate scientific literacy, social interaction, and provide a more engaging educational experience. In summary, the project aimed to meet contemporary educational demands by prioritizing student engagement, interactivity, and the use of accessible technologies to improve the effectiveness of the learning process in Biology.
