Macrofungos: O uso de modelos didáticos para melhorar o processo ensino-aprendizagem

Abstract

Mycology is the science that studies fungi, and the teaching of the subject is complex and difficult to understand for most students, in addition to the subject being worked on in elementary schools in a traditional and expositive way, thus making partial learning and thus disfavoring the effective construction of knowledge. In this sense, didactic resources are important instruments to facilitate students' learning in content. Thus, the research aimed to develop didactic models of Macrofungi in elementary education for a better understanding of the students regarding the content. Since the teaching of the Fungi Kingdom is a subject that is difficult to understand and also little seen in elementary school. It was possible to note that traditional teaching is still very common in classrooms, despite the efforts of teachers to make classes more interactive and that, even with the lack of a science laboratory and available materials, they try to innovate. in their classes, thus making the classes more dynamic and interactive. Taking into account that didactic models are considered attractive and pleasant and students can observe contents that are often abstract, didactic models can provide better, more meaningful and fun learning, thus awakening greater involvement in content and science. There are numerous effective methodological practices that can be used by teachers in the classroom, it is also clear that science classes, when taught theoretically without the aid of methodological practices, do not favor the student's interest in the content, from then on there is a feeling of great need to introduce didactic models and practical classes in science.
