Percepções De Licenciandos Em Ciências Biológicas Relacionadas À Disciplina Bioquímica E Sua Tratativa Na Educação Básica E Superior

Abstract

The Biochemistry discipline, worked in Basic and Higher Education, accumulates a traditional character and of difficult assimilation by the students, mainly because it deals with structures invisible to the naked eye and often only imaginable, being important the students' perception for improvements in the quality of teaching-learning of that content. Thus, the present study aimed to report and discuss the perceptions of undergraduate Biological Sciences students from a Federal Institution of Higher Education related to the Biochemistry discipline, as well as their treatment in the classroom. For the respective participation, the students were informed of the research objectives and agreed to participate by completing a Free and Informed Consent Form (ICF). Subsequently, they answered a questionnaire containing 14 questions related to detailed aspects about their experiences throughout the discipline. In this sense, the results showed, in most cases, a negative evaluation of the methods used in the teaching of classes, not only in terms of difficulties in absorbing the proposed themes, but also in the way they were developed, thus pointing out a failure mainly in the choice of calls active methodologies for applying the content. In addition, a concern was observed among students regarding the best way to teach the Biochemistry discipline, through appropriate methodologies, since in the near future students will be in the position of teachers and will have to decide which methodologies to apply to allow effective learning to your students. Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on the search for a continuous improvement in the development of the proposed themes in a way that does not
