Resumo
Os conteúdos de Biologia são plurais, assumindo várias formas. Apesar disso, ainda hoje existe um preferência de estudo sobre sua forma conceitual, condenando as demais ao esquecimento. Nesse sentido, torna-se crescente a necessidade de pesquisas que revelem um outro viés dos conhecimentos da Biologia. Trabalhos que evidenciem as possibilidades da biologia para a contemplação das necessidade sociais, biológicas e culturais da humanidade. Dessa forma, o presente estudo trata-se de uma investigação sobre os conhecimentos de Biologia e a promoção de atitudes mediante seu aprendizado. Para o alcance deste objetivo, pretende-se conhecer as percepções de ingressantes universitários sobre os conhecimentos aprendidos nas aulas de Biologia do ensino médio e as possíveis atitudes desenvolvidas por meio destes saberes. A escolha deste público se justifica pela maior probabilidade de encontrar jovens que finalizaram recentemente o ensino médio e, dessa forma, dado o pouco tempo de conclusão desta etapa escolar, espera-se que as memórias sobre os conhecimentos de Biologia destes estudantes, continuem resistentes ao esquecimento. A pesquisa foi realizada de forma remota, via Microsoft Forms e contou com 98 respondentes, todos alunos de uma universidade pública localizada na região da grande São Paulo. Os ingressantes responderam um questionário composto por 84 itens organizados em três blocos referentes a opinião sobre a disciplina biologia, os conhecimentos de biologia, e as atitudes promovidas pelo ensino de biologia. Os resultados indicam que os estudantes tem uma visão positiva sobre a biologia, considerando-a fundamental para a compreensão de diversos aspectos da vida e útil para o cotidiano. Com relação aos conteúdos da disciplina, os jovens demonstraram elevado grau de conhecimento em questões sobre saúde, meio ambiente e sexualidade. Os universitários apontaram que os conhecimentos das aulas de biologia aumentaram sua confiança na ciência e contribuíram para a promoção de atitudes relacionadas aos cuidados com a saúde, preservação ambiental, respeito e tolerância as demais sexualidades, e ainda, tornou-os menos susceptíveis à crença em pseudociências e notícias falsas. Estas contribuições revelam um grande potencial da Biologia para o enfretamento de pautas socialmente em evidencia que exigem um posicionamento cientifico por parte dos cidadãos.
Biology contents are plural, taking different forms. Despite this, even today there is a preference for studying its conceptual form, condemning the others to oblivion. In this sense, there is a growing need for research that reveals another bias in Biology knowledge. Works that highlight the possibilities of biology for the contemplation of the social, biological and cultural needs of humanity. Thus, the present study is an investigation into the knowledge of Biology and the promotion of attitudes through its learning. In order to reach this objective, we intend to know the perceptions of university students about the knowledge learned in high school Biology classes and the possible attitudes developed through this knowledge. The choice of this audience is justified by the greater probability of finding young people who have recently completed high school and, thus, given the short time it takes to complete this school stage, it is expected that the memories of these students' knowledge of Biology will remain resistant to oblivion. . About the methodology, the research was carried out remotely, via Microsoft Forms and had 98 respondents, the university students participating in this study are part of a public university located in the greater São Paulo region. The freshmen answered a questionnaire composed of 84 statements along three blocks referring to the opinion about the biology discipline, the knowledge of biology, and the attitudes promoted by the teaching of biology. The results indicate that students have a positive view of biology, considering it fundamental for understanding different aspects of life and useful for everyday life. With regard to Biology content, the young people demonstrated a high degree of knowledge on questions about health, environment and sexuality. The university students pointed out that the knowledge of biology classes increased their confidence in science and contributed to the promotion of attitudes related to health care, environmental preservation, respect and tolerance for other sexualities, still making them less susceptible to belief in pseudo sciences and fake news. These contributions reveal a great potential of Biology to face socially evident agendas that require a scientific position on the part of citizens.
