The teaching of plasma membrane through the elaboration of an educational booklet

Abstract

In the plasma membrane content, it is observed that both structure and transport encompass complexity and abstraction in concepts. This study brings together the results of a formative experience involving the elaboration of booklets on the importance of the plasma membrane in an educational context. The proposed activity has a qualitative character with a didactic-experimental approach and began in the face of the problem-situation.  Initially, the structural and functional aspects of the plasma membrane with activities in the laboratory were presented. For the elaboration of the booklet, the following steps were followed: definition of the texts, choice of letters and colors, insertion of images, elaboration of interactive activities and formatting of the booklet using in the layout booklet design models  already available in Canva. In the evaluation criteria, the dialogues in the classroom, analysis of the results of complementary activities and the evaluation of the elaboration of the booklet were considered. In this study, the elaboration of an educational booklet stimulated interest and curiosity and diversity was observed among the works presented, but all the materials sought to arouse the attention of readers, with the distribution of concepts interspersed with images and activities. In their reports, the students considered that the activity was pleasurable and constructive from the moment they researched the application of abstract concepts. This study points out that the elaboration of a didactic resource through an investigative activity is important and results in significant learning, since it places the student as the main agent in the construction of knowledge.
