ABSTRACT

Biology, as a curricular component of high school, encompasses important content for the development of skills that enable students to comprehend and value life in all its diversity. Cytology is cited as one of the contents of biology that encompasses complex and abstract concepts, which can hardly be visualized in a practical and concrete way in the classroom, resulting in a gap between what is taught and the student's meaningful learning. Considering the reality of many public schools, where materials and equipment for biology classes, more specifically, for teaching Cytology, are limited or scarce, and due to the importance of this theme for understanding life as a dynamic phenomenon, a didactic software called “Mundo das organelas” has been developed along with a didactic sequence that has an investigative approach  in order to contribute to a meaningful learning regarding the content of cytoplasmic organelles in high schools. The software “Mundo das organelas” was created by the Visual Class® software and is intended to teach content on cytoplasmic organelles in a ludic and attractive way. The product "Mundo das organelas" addresses, through various resources, the morphology and the function of cytoplasmic organelles, along with curiosities, mind maps, games, simulators and complementary material, where website suggestions, videos and reading materials are introduced. After the software was produced, it was evaluated by biology teachers. The research was qualitative and used semi-structured questionnaire as instrument of data collection. The data collected were qualitatively evaluated, considering the teachers' perceptions of the quality of the product presented. The software was considered to be very good (83% of respondents) regarding its use to teach biology and was pointed out as a resource that contributes a lot to the significant learning about cytoplasmic organelles (83%). The software produced was rated as excellent (42% of the responses) in several criteria, such as: its appearance, being an attractive resource for students, creating learning situations, and in relation to memorizing content. The software was considered by the interviewees as a product totally suitable for teaching Biology and pointed out as a resource that contributes a lot to the significant learning about cytoplasmic organelles (86%); was evaluated as excellent in several criteria, such as, its visual (36%), being an attractive resource for students (43%), creating learning situations (36%), as very good, in relation to memorizing content and fun and playfulness offered (50%) and good at acquiring new concepts (43%). The use of “Mundo das organelas” can be considered an innovation and can act as a tool for changes in the teaching process. When used with an approach based on active methodology, this software can result in more active and involved students in the classroom, besides promoting an effective learning of the content of cytoplasmic organelles.
