Ensino-aprendizagem do tema corpo humano no Ensino médio

Abstract

The purpose of this dissertation was to understand the teaching-learning process of the theme human body in the Biology and Physical Education disciplines in High School and to create an interdisciplinary didactic sequence to work on this subject. The idea of the research was based on a personal uneasiness derived from experiences of teaching the human body theme in Physical Education classes for high school students. The dissertation was divided into three chapters: the first aims to analyze the human body theme in the Biology and Physical Education disciplines based on the official documents. The second chapter is a case study in two schools in the municipality of Ceres-GO. The objective was to know and analyze the syllabus and teaching-learning process of the human body theme in the Biology and Physical Education disciplines in two public schools (state and federal). Field data collection took place through the application of structured questionnaires to teachers and students. The third chapter refers to the educational product, an interdisciplinary didactic sequence that aims to provide an integrative teaching of the human body theme in the disciplines of Biology and Physical Education, reducing the fragmentation of content related to the subject in High School. The educational product was evaluated by the teachers participating in the research. Overall, the analysis of the data reveals that the participating teachers are young and most are aware of how the subject human body is proposed in the official documents for teaching in the school. The teachers emphasized that there is a need to reduce the fragmentation of the topic, suggesting starting with the organization of the curriculum. For most students in both schools the definition of human body was categorized as biological. We believe that interdisciplinary work involving two or more disciplines may be a favorable path for contextualized and less fragmented teaching.
