“…The other 5 stated that the model is not a necessity but works as a complement that optimizes the class. Our results corroborate the idea presented by other studies (García et al, 2019;Gould et al, 2019) that state that graphic representations that are essentially assimilated by sight can also be perceived by touch and that a VI person depends on touch to form spatial concepts and create internal images (Melaku et al, 2016). When models were used as an aid to learning contribution, as in question 4, acceptance was unanimous among the investigated students, who considered this resource as a strong ally in the process of teaching and learning morphological disciplines.…”

Histology for the Visually Impaired: A Study Applying Models at Universities in Spain and Brazil

This study aimed to develop models that reproduce histological slide images and evaluate them with blind and sighted students from an inclusion perspective. A questionnaire with questions about the ideal characteristics of a model was answered by visually impaired (VI) students. Based on the responses and optical microscopy images from histological atlases, nine models were constructed with standardized materials. The models were tested at different times with VI students and with students who see. Our results indicate that morphology teaching, according to the students themselves, should make use of extra resources, such as models. The ideal characteristics for model efficiency as a teaching tool were representative textures and reliefs. The models built were evaluated by blind students in Spain and sighted students in Brazil because, from an inclusive perspective, it is ideal that the same material can meet the demands of all types of students. The use of the developed models enhanced learning in both groups, even when combined with microscopes for sighted students. According to student opinions, the use of relief models can represent an important pedagogical strategy used to teach morphological. The importance of developing that materials was also highlighted from an inclusion perspective, as these materials can be used in mixed classes, all students together, in cooperative learning. This study aids morphological subject teachers who teach visually impaired students to know where to start on the path to an inclusive and pedagogically coherent learning process.

“…Nessa perspectiva, o emprego de TDICs, como o microscópio digital e recursos multimídia, mostrou-se muito satisfatório quanto ao engajamento entre os alunos e extensionistas, bem como ao estímulo pelo interesse científico. Como todos foram convidados a manipular voluntariamente os equipamentos, houve bastante curiosidade e interesse em participar, aprofundar conhecimentos sobre o mundo microscópico e explorar o que estava à disposição, corroborando outros trabalhos (CHOU; WANG, 2021; DICKERSON; KUBASCO, 2007;GOULD et al, 2018;ZHOU et al, 2020).…”

“…Porém, se eles fossem orientados a manuseá-lo corretamente e mostrassem cuidado e responsabilidade, não deveriam ficar preocupados em danificar o aparelho. Muitos trabalhos apontam essa insegurança no domínio de equipamentos científicos, não apenas pelos alunos, mas também pelos professores (GOULD et al, 2018;PAGLIARINI, 2016;RUŠČIĆ et al 2018;VLAARDINGERBROEK et al, 2016). Essa insegurança expressada pelos alunos era ainda mais acentuada devido à ausência de um laboratório de Ciências, que fazia com os alunos não tivessem acesso a determinados equipamentos ou práticas laboratoriais.…”

Ações De Extensão Em Microscopia

2022

Quem nunca se encantou ao ver um microscópio e imaginar o universo por ele desvelado? A criação desse instrumento possibilitou a elaboração de teorias que até hoje são fundamentais para a Biologia. Porém, devido a diversas limitações, a experiência da maioria dos estudantes no Ensino Básico com esse instrumento não é satisfatória. Consequentemente, o interesse por atividades científicas é afetado negativamente, necessitando de ações que as estimulem. Visando popularizar a Ciência e fortalecer o conhecimento sobre microscopia, foram realizadas atividades de extensão junto a estudantes do Ensino Fundamental e do Ensino Médio de uma escola pública estadual localizada em Camaragibe (Pernambuco). A ação educativa consistiu na realização de: a) resgate dos conhecimentos prévios; b) palestra interativa utilizando modelos de microscópio óptico e digital; c) oficina sobre manipulação de microscópio óptico e confecção de um modelo de microscópio artesanal; d) discussão e socialização do conhecimento. No geral, as estratégias pedagógicas utilizando a microscopia tornaram o conteúdo aprendido mais interessante e significativo, despertando o lado lúdico, criativo, curioso, reflexivo e investigativo do público. Não apenas contribuíram na ampliação do conhecimento sobre microscopia e auxiliaram nos ajustes das concepções alternativas, mas permitiram o desenvolvimento de habilidades científicas adicionais, tão necessárias à mobilização de competências educacionais.

“…Because of the advantages that collaborative learning can carry with it in aspects of course, content mastery, and the growth of long-term interpersonal skills, collaborative learning has been increasingly incorporated into higher education through various approaches (Gould, Gilbert, Pike & Menzies, 2018). To promote improved application of collaborative learning methods within higher education, our study team engaged in person-driven discussions on collaborative learning activities that we had previously participated in as either a learner or a teacher.…”
