A construção de projeto de sensibilização para prevenção de parasitoses utilizando modelos didáticos: um relato de experiência da disciplina Saúde na Escola e na Comunidade

Abstract

This paper presents an experience report of the Health in School and Community (HSC) course, part of the Biological Sciences Teacher Education program at the Institute of Biological Sciences and Health of the Federal University of Alagoas, during the 2021.1 semester, held remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The objective is to report on the researcher's experience as a student of the HSC course, as well as the importance of Health Education in the training of future teachers. Additionally, the experience of teaching and learning and the construction of a sensitization project in the field of Parasitology for Science teaching will be described, using didactic models of parasites as a resource for promoting awareness of the prevention of parasitic diseases. Methodologically, this is a basic and descriptive research with a qualitative approach, presented in two chapters. The first chapter reflects on the teacher as a promoter of health education and the importance of a course like Health in School and Community in teacher training. A literature review was conducted using the terms education and health, health promotion, school health, and sensitization/awareness in different databases (Google Scholar, SciELO, and CAPES Periodicals). The second chapter is dedicated to describing the researcher's experience in developing a sensitization project for the promotion of the prevention of parasitic diseases using didactic models. All activities developed in the Health in School and Community course aimed to promote educational and preventive actions for sensitization in Health Education. The researcher constructed a sensitization project that used biscuit models of parasites with the aim of promoting meaningful learning in Science teaching.
