A utilização dos recursos didáticos por professores de Biologia de escola pública e privada do Município de Cruz das Almas, Ba

Abstract

Although there have been numerous technological and scientific advances, we note that teaching of Biology in the high school, remains restricted to lectures, with minimal involvement of the students and the book is the only teaching resource. The use of teaching resources, such as audiovisual, computer tools, laboratory and classroom practices, outside activities, programs of study for projects and discussions, among others, when it occurs, is about sporadic initiatives of some teachers, taken forth by the enormous personal effort of such professionals. Therefore, basing on this problem, the need arose to conduct a survey of biology teachers in public and private schools of the city of Cruz das Almas, Bahia. This research aims to investigate, through observations and interviews, the use and construction of teaching resources used by biology teachers. Because this, the interviews based on two questionnaires were applied to four biology teachers, two from a public school and two from a private education network. Based on the answers to parse that 100% of teachers consider teaching resource as very important, only 25% of teachers builds some kind of didactic resource alone, and between teachers of public and private schools, those who use more resources and build textbooks are the teachers of public schools.
