O ensino dos conceitos de solstício e equinócio e das estações do ano a partir do uso de gif como recurso didático

Abstract

The concern about the initial training of teachers has been increasing in recent times, and can be observed by the creation of PIBIDs. With this and the rapid advance of the media nowadays, it is important to consider its insertion in the school environment, using this great tool present in the students' daily life in favor of education. A way to answer this reality is to incorporate the media into the initial teacher training, allowing a more in-depth contact between both, so that they become confident and able to use the media as a pedagogical resource. In school institutions, there is a great difficulty for most students to see the science inserted in their daily life, and thus, the use of the media as a pedagogical resource demonstrates a great potential to remedy this obstacle faced within the classroom, making it possible to bring the student closer to the scientific content. From this observation, a teaching resource was developed during the Science Teaching Methodology subject of the licentiate course in Biological Sciences of the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA), aiming to construct a pedagogical strategy that contemplates this dimension. Still within this scope, the strategy was presented and carried out with the students participating in the course and in PIBID, who evaluated it. The participants' speeches were analyzed based on the literature and brought some questions such as the graduate’s performance and the clarity of understanding provided by GIFs.
