Perspectivas futuras do uso de drones na agricultura através do mangá

Abstract

With the popularity of Manga and the need for a greater dissemination of scientific knowledge to make it more easily understood by the general public, a science fiction manga about drones, precision agriculture, and lasers was made. The manga was then applied to a group of people to gather their opinions on the manga and its effectiveness in conveying information. It was observed that there were positive results regarding the accessibility of the comic book, with an enjoyable and easy-to-understand reading experience. Specifically, 46.7% had moderate contact with manga and/or watched anime, 86.7% of the volunteers gained some knowledge about Precision Agriculture, and 93.3% liked the manga. However, difficulties were also noted regarding the practical applicability of the manga compared to more traditional teaching materials. Specifically, 53.3% responded "yes," while 46.7% responded "maybe" regarding the viability of the manga as a scientific communication tool. It was concluded that while manga can serve as a means of scientific dissemination and educational material, despite its popularity in facilitating content comprehension and presenting it in a more engaging manner, it faces challenges in terms of the depth of the content it can cover and how it can be effectively integrated into teaching practices.
