Self-regulation of learning. Genetics. Instagram. Multiple Intelligences.
Following teaching
This dissertation seeks ways to encourage the active participation of students and
motivate their cognitive volition, with pedagogical innovations. It is a didactic
sequence developed for a third grade high school class, in a State Public School,
located in the municipality of Santa Cruz do Capibaribe, covering a content of
Genetics, in the area of Biology. The proposal aimed to investigate the effectiveness
of a Didactic Sequence, which involves the use of Instagram and self-regulation
learning strategies, with the purpose of enlivening and intensifying procedures
related to cognition. For the unfolding of the proposal, the researches developed by
Barry J. Zimmerman on self-regulation of learning were used, as well as the Theory
of Multiple Intelligences, developed by the cognitive and educational psychologist
Howard Gardner and collaborators. The choice of the first theory happened because
it has constructs that help organize the moments of studies and the second because
it values the different intelligences of each being, showing that there are particular
ways of learning. The studies showed that if well used, theories can enhance
learning and that students using Instagram as a learning environment were able to
develop study methods, which provided autonomy and self-management in the
construction of their scientific knowledge, with changes in academic behavior.
