USE OF TEACHING SEQUENCES IN PHYSIOLOGY TEACHING HUMAN EMPHASISED ON OBESITY
Diabetes, Hypertension, Obesity
The Didactic Sequence is a pedagogical tool that has been widely accepted; it is a didactic strategy that sharpens the student's investigative potential and scientific autonomy, enhancing their learning through the appropriation of knowledge by valuing the experiences already lived. This Master's Final Project proposes to elaborate a booklet with two Teaching Sequences on the theme Obesity and Human Physiology, with an investigative approach, establishing a relationship between science, society, and health promotion, as an alternative way to facilitate the teaching and learning of high school students, and also to contribute as auxiliary material to teachers who seek new methodological strategies. The first didactic sequence proposed has as its starting point the search for scientific knowledge about the Physiological Bases of Obesity. In the second didactic sequence to be elaborated, the theme Obesity was approached through two of the main pathologies resulting from obesity: Hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes, with the understanding of physiological concepts involved in these pathological conditions. In the two didactic sequences, intervention activities were proposed for adherence to healthy living practices for adolescents in order to prevent or even reduce Obesity in the school environment. The booklet will be developed using the Canva platform, designed in A4 size and diagrammed to assist in the aesthetics and organization of texts and content, so that some concepts are also translated visually. After the conclusion of this work, the booklet containing the SDs will be made available in a printed version for High School Units and also in PDF (Portable Document Format) for download, in order to serve as a pedagogical support for Biology teachers who wish to use the SDs in their classes.
