Microbiologia no ensino fundamental: uma prática para enxergar o invisível

Abstract

This work was subject teaching Microbiology in elementary school, trying to analyze how the practices classes can help in the teaching-learning process, since this issue tends to be bad for the amount of abstraction. Thus, this study made use of models, culture media, microscope and field research as teaching tools for the theme in development, and questionnaires to assess the previous and posterior knowledge of the students, related to microbiology. However, it may be noted that students were more interested, curious, participatory and cooperative with the experimental activities, generating a good improvement, which can be observed in the answers of the later survey activities. Despite the absence of a control group, it can be noted that the students had a good development of the subject, because the abstraction gave way to observable concrete, which facilitates student learning.
