Sequência didática investigativa sobre a qualidade da água de três pontos da enseada da Praia do Siqueira (Laguna de Araruama - RJ) como estratégia para o ensino de Biologia: uma proposta de aula dinâmica

Abstract

The present work aimed to develop an investigative didactic sequence aimed at evaluating the water at three points in the Siqueira beach cove (Laguna de Araruama – RJ) in Cabo Frio, as a thematic strategy to promote the protagonism of high school students in their learning process. The Investigative Didactic Sequence was developed based on a problematization so that students could create hypotheses and carry out guided research. Afterwards, debates were proposed, going out into the field to collect water, analyzing the collected materials and noting the results found. During the process, the teacher encouraged the students to reflect on the work they were doing. At the end, the students produced a banner to present their work to the school community. Furthermore, an open letter was prepared by the class with the aim of requesting action to address the problem presented, which was posted on the School's Instagram and addressed to the Cabo Frio City Council and the city's water and sewage concessionaire – PROLAGOS. A teaching guide on SDI was created to disseminate it to other teachers. Throughout the development of this work, it was verified that the elaborated SDI involved the students so that they showed interest in participating in the different phases of study proposed. Furthermore, SDI provided moments for data collection and student reflection on an environmental issue that they experience locally. Finally, the students realized that they could participate in the search for improvements to the environment through investigative studies and the communication of their results. The teaching guide can contribute to the environmental education of other high school students in different schools close to Laguna de Araruama or even in other places that experience similar problems.
