O ensino de Botânica mediado pelos recursos educacionais abertos e pelo modelo de rotação por estações da educação híbrida

Abstract

It is possible to perceive a rapid and intense expansion of the Internet in the most varied environments, including education, a fact that enhances the advancement of online education in different modalities, spaces and methodologies. The present research focuses on Hybrid Education as an alternative proposal of teaching and learning, directly related to the educational proposals of the new century, considering the Rotation by Seasons as a method to enhance the knowledge about Botany. The use of Open Educational Resources (REA) has led to the increasing participation of several institutions and academic communities that are disseminating their productions on the web. The present study aims to analyze the contributions of OER applied to Hybrid Education for Botany Teaching, which is described as, considerably theoretical, discouraging for students and little valued within the teaching of Biology. In this study, the reflections and analyzes carried out are part of a research project carried out at the Nossa Senhora da Conceição State School in Lagoa da Canoa, Alagoas. The research contemplates the REA, the Hybrid model of the Rotation by Stations and its relations with the study of Botany. The research was descriptive, with a qualitative nature, whose approach was action research. For data collection, this was described in stages, in which a diagnosis was initially made with an evaluation. The model was then explained to the participants. Rotation by Stations was applied, and in the course of the research, registrations were made through annotations, photos, application of questionnaires and conversation wheel. The contribution of this study is to present reference alternatives to innovate in the Botany classes, through an active methodology, and to extend the use of Digital Technologies of Information and Communication in the learning process. In this way, it was demonstrated that Hybrid Teaching, through Rotation by Stations, is an important pedagogical instrument, especially when performed with well-defined and planned didactic resources, making possible the learning of Botany.
