Uso de tecnologias digitais no ensino de biologia na rede pública de ensino médio em Zé Doca (MA)

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how the use of digital technologies can contribute to the teaching of biology in the public high school system in Zé Doca, Maranhão. The research, of a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory nature, was conducted with active high school biology teachers, using a questionnaire as a data collection instrument. The results indicate that, although there is recognition and importance of digital technologies as pedagogical tools to make teaching more dynamic, interactive and motivating, there are still obstacles to be overcome, such as lack of continuing education, inadequate infrastructure and inequality in access to necessary technological equipment. The study also revealed that resources such as videos, animations, games and digital platforms, among others, have significant potential to improve the understanding of biological content, especially the most abstract ones. However, the effective insertion of these tools in education requires investments in teacher training, infrastructure and public policies committed to pedagogical innovation, aiming to improve and promote an education that is more contextualized to the needs of the 21st century.
