O uso de metodologias ativas no ensino de Genética Forense

Abstract

The use of active methodology focuses on more effective involvement and participation of students, thus teaching becomes more efficient and learning problems are minimized. The biology subject has a certain complexity, therefore it deserves more participatory and reflective teaching, thus prioritizing activities focused on investigation and problematization as they stimulate and enrich the teaching-learning process. Forensic genetics is a subject that has been growing in our daily lives, as it is a resource that is increasingly used by the legal world for investigation and conflict resolution purposes. The collection and analysis of genetic material is currently stored in a Genetic Profile Bank, which has already assisted in several criminal cases. This work aims to present a pedagogical proposal for active methodologies to approach forensic genetics with high school students in the Biology discipline. It is recommended to use methodologies that effectively contribute to the development of conscientious students, so that they can advance in their teaching and learning process.
