Biologando com o App Inventor : uma proposta para a formação de professores de Ciências Biológicas

Abstract

The advancement of the use of educational technologies in Brazil has received greater attention, especially after the outbreak of COVID-19, in 2020. The use of interactive classrooms, gamification and apps started to compose the methodological universe of the educational process. Therefore, this research aimed to understand the scope possibilities of using App Inventor in the daily life of the classroom in the Natural Sciences, through an extension course given to Biology teachers. Research data were collected through the use of logbooks by the researcher and participants, and the data were analyzed from the use of Discursive Textual Analysis (DTA). One of the results of the research was the educational product that discusses the ways of implementing the mini-course, so that other teachers can have access to this type of methodology. In addition, during the execution of the course, it could be noticed that the participants were able to produce applications that could be used in the classroom, in the development of their school routine. Finally, it was noticed that even those who did not have much affinity with App Inventor managed to participate in the course and obtain educational gains for their practice in the classroom.
