Elaboração de um acervo didático utilizando a anurofauna do sítio São Jorge em São Gabriel da Cachoeira para o ensino de Ciências e Biologia

Abstract

The recognition of practical activities as an important model for the study of Science and Biology is interesting, in the study of these subjects the abstract is predominant and bringing something that is close to reality can enhance teaching and learning (SOUZA, 2014). According to Krasilchik (1996) to establish a high attention level of students throughout the class period, it is necessary to ensure that these have sensory stimuli through more active participation and use of materials. The use of biological collections in classes, gives the student the knowledge and recognition of Science and Biology subjects, the reality of the community and the environment where it lives and encourages the preservation and maintenance of biodiversity (WOMMER, 2013). Triplehorn and Johnson (2011) point out that the best way to learn about insects is by collecting them, in this way it is possible to learn by assembling the collection and approaching subjects that many times cannot be taught only in books. For Bessa (2011) the botanical collections when used for teaching Biology becomes effective by carrying large amounts of details and information, brings theory closer to practice, as the student has direct contact with what is studied and there is still the possibility of touching the material. Zoological collections have shown a significant role in teaching Biological Sciences, is used as teaching material and also an important collection for knowledge and discoveries of biodiversity, this practical class model has great influence on the improvement of teaching, through it a range of possibilities for students, from observation and analysis to the handling of species (AZEVEDO et al, 2012).
