A utilização de recursos midiáticos no processo de aprendizagem de ciências

Abstract

This work tries to address the importance of Media Resources in teaching science só that learning can be renewed. It is important to emphasize that the idea of alternative didactic resources does not pretend to be the solution to the numerous problems that pervade the teaching and learning of sciences today. Likewise, it does not mean to dispense with the laboratory, but rather to fail to perceive it as the only source that has the resources for teaching. The objective of the project is to capture the positives and negatives in the use of Media Resources used in the classroom, through qualitative and quantitative research, and also comparing two classes on the same content: a totally traditional expository class and another allied to Technologies of Communication and Information – TICs for students of the public school system. It is verified that the students when motivated by something different demonstrate greater interest in the class and, therefore, awakens to the playful and the participation of this in the acquisition of knowledge. It has been found that traditional methodology is of paramount importance to the teaching process. However, the methodology allied with technologies significantly broadens the results obtained. Therefore, it is important for the teacher to use both methodologies, since allies can cover almost totally the need to fill the gaps in the students’ minds making them become part of the teaching-learning process as thinkers.
