Análise das percepções de licenciandos de biologia da Universidade Federal de Lavras sobre os Estatutos da Biologia a partir de filmes: um estudo sobre formação inicial de professores

Abstract

This dissertation aims to analyze the impact of the dialogue between the History and Philosophy of Biology and Cinema on the training of future Science/Biology teachers. The study involved a discipline that promoted interaction between films and content related to the History and Philosophy of Biology, with students being asked to reflect on the influence of this dialogue. The analysis of the students' observations, carried out according to Minayo's methodology (2002), revealed that the purpose of the work was achieved, highlighting the identification of relevant elements in the films related to the structuring concepts of Biology. The discipline, included in the Biological Sciences courses at the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) in 2020, presents itself as a significant step towards providing a critical perspective on Biology to students. The approach adopted seeks to demystify the linear and simplified view of science, highlighting the complexity and challenges faced throughout the development of biological knowledge. The COVID-19 pandemic led to the subject being taught remotely, highlighting the importance of using cinematographic works to integrate art into the pedagogical process, providing more engaging learning. Choosing films outside the realm of the bourgeois cultural industry allowed students to appreciate works that transcend limiting ideologies.
