Sequência didática na promoção de conhecimentos e atitudes preventivas sobre acidentes ofídicos no ensino fundamental

Abstract

The development of students' skills and competencies occurs during the school period, usually mediated by teaching, which can be facilitated through prior and systematic organization in a didactic sequence (DS). Topics of medical importance, such as snake bites, can be developed by integrating activities and contextualizing them with the Amazonian reality. In addition, as observed during the teaching internship, the school does not have laboratories or teaching resources to contribute to science education, which reinforces the need for differentiated methodologies. Therefore, the objective of this study was to expand knowledge and develop preventive attitudes about snake bites among 7th-grade elementary school students. The DS was developed based on the works of Antônio Zaballa, Muenchen, and Delizoicov, as well as the National Common Core Curriculum, and was applied through classes and different teaching resources. Through the analysis of questionnaires, it was possible to identify that 7th grade students have incipient knowledge about the subject. During classes, students showed interest and participated actively, especially in the educational game “Escape from the Snakes,” where they achieved very satisfactory results with all teams scoring high marks, showing that this resource can be used to promote learning. Therefore, the SD developed emphasizes the importance of organizing stages in teaching, resources for knowledge acquisition, and the relevance of contextualization, allowing for the active participation of students, thus learning and developing interpersonal skills.
