Panorama dos métodos e recursos didáticos aplicados no ensino de ciências e biologia em escolas da rede pública de Nova Floresta - PB.

Abstract

The society lives in constant social and technological upgrades, which can be incorporated into the teaching-learning process to improve it. However, it recurs the use of the textbook as the main resource in primary and secondary education, exhibition and dialogued classes adopted as a methodology and theoretical assessments (written tests) as the primary means evaluation; if falling back on more traditional means known to the teaching-learning process. Thus, this study sought to check the overview of the methods and educational resources invested in science teaching in public schools of a small city of Paraiba. A semi-structured questionnaire for teachers of science and biology in public schools of the city was applied, two of which belonged to the municipal level, only encompassing elementary school and a school of state level, which attended the elementary and high school estuidantes. It was observed that, corroborating several studies, there are few adoption of new teaching tools, since only one of the schools, had a laboratory, which can be considered as a minimum resource for the assimilation of the given content; as well as the entire sample presents audiovisual resource limitation, needing to make waiting list to use the data show, for example, given that only one copy is available at each school. Therefore, it is assumed that the teacher must look for alternative methods in order to reduce the lack of interest of the students, so that there is interaction of the student with the subject worked in class, which favors learning. Thus, it is concluded that, in the selected sample, the textbook is the most used feature, often launching hand-exhibition dialogic class and the written test as evaluative methodology. The main alternative is the Science Fair held annually in each of the schools surveyed, with a time of much interaction and knowledge acquisition.
