A monitoria e a prática investigativa no ensino de Bioquímica: uma abordagem em Lipídeos

Abstract

The aim of this work was to investigate the motivations of students when looking for tutoring and their interest in an investigative approach as a teaching-learning method in Biochemistry. This strategy was testing in a practice in Biochemistry, following stages such as probing the problem in the tutoring, applying the investigative methodology in Lipids practices and discussing the observations during the execution of the stages and their prospects for a better learning process. The results of the work demonstrated the importance of academic tutoring for the students who tutor and those who are tutored, as well as highlighting investigative practice as a promising method for students who cannot attend tutoring, as well as a complement or even an adjunct to the traditional practical class script, seeking to validate the efficiency of this method in building knowledge, developing autonomy and communication, investigation and critical thinking skills.
