Guia de histórias em quadrinhos: ferramenta para professores de Ciências e Biologia?

Abstract

The objective of this work was to elaborate, apply and evaluate, a didactic product that offers Comic Stories (HQs) with didactic potential in order to contribute with the pedagogical work of Science and Biology teachers. We chose to create an electronic platform from the google sites program, inserting comic strips there, which are small comic books. The product was presented to undergraduate students in Biological Sciences, and was evaluated by them through a questionnaire. The platform, entitled HQBio, hosted at <http://bit.ly/33iS5mT> was well received by the students. Most of the research participants like comics and had contact with this resource in their basic education, a percentage that decreased in higher education. All the participants in this research defend the use of comic books in the textbook and would use them in their teaching practices, the concern with learning being greater than the ludic function of comic books. We emphasize that the compliments and the pertinence of the comics must be accompanied by consideration, since this cultural product is not designed for educational purposes, but we, the teachers, are the ones who select them. In fact, many subjects in Science and Biology have no strips related to it.
