Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze the construction of biochemical concepts supported by Project-Based Learning (PBL) and theoretical framework of Implicit Statistical Analysis (I.S.A), based on the elaboration of didactic artifacts constructed by undergraduate students in Biological Sciences from a Higher Education Institution in Pernambuco, Brazil. In this sense, two Comics and a Directed Study developed by the participants were analyzed based on analytical categories based on the theoretical framework adopted and related from the framework of I.S.A. Our analyzes allow us to infer that the PBL methodology proved to be a viable alternative for the construction of procedural concepts of a systemic-complex nature, guiding students towards conceptual (re)elaboration, in an articulated and paradigmatic way. This could be proven via a relationship of almost implication between the concept formation phase and the complex paradigm, showing that the more elaborate the concept, the student will tend to permeate the complex paradigm of science. Therefore, the use of Implicit Statistical Analysis in the process of analyzing the productions included in the investigation expanded the vision of an exclusively qualitative approach to a quantitative treatment, appropriating statistical-probabilistic elements, contributing significantly to a systemic and articulated view of the data.

Rafael Santos de Aquino, Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano (IFSertãoPE)

Professor at the Instituto Federal do Sertão Pernambucano - IFSertãoPE since 2010, he has a degree in Animal Science from the Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco - UFRPE and participated in the CAPES/FIPSE-USA Sandwich Degree Program between UFRPE and Texas AM University, resulting in a Specialization in Agriculture and Life Science. He also has a degree in Biological Sciences (UFRPE) and is a specialist in Biology Teaching (Universidade Cândido Mendes, UCAM). He has a Master's degree in Animal Science (UFRPE). He completed his doctorate in co-supervision between the Postgraduate Program in Science and Mathematics Teaching, PPGEC/UFRPE and the École Doctorale Éducation Culture et Politique, ECP at the Université Lumière Lyon 2, in France, obtaining the degrees of Doctor in Science and Mathematics Teaching (UFRPE) and in Science de l'Éducaton et la Formation from the French university. Works in the area of ​​Animal Science and Biology, Science Teaching, Applied Implicit Statistical Analysis (ISA), Multicultural Education and Mixed Scientific Methodology applied to Teaching and Education. Full professor of the Postgraduate Program in Professional and Technological Education (ProfEPT) - Professional Master's Degree in Professional and Technological Education in the National Network by IFSertãoPE Campus Salgueiro.

Ana Maria dos Anjos Carneiro Leão, Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco (UFRPE)

Graduated in Medicine (1986) and with a Master's degree in Biochemistry (1992) from the Federal University of Pernambuco, she has a PhD in Sciences (Biochemistry) from the Federal University of Paraná (1998). She completed a postdoctoral internship at the Federal University of Ceará (2006). Between 1988 and 2006, she developed research activities in the area of ​​Biochemistry (biologically active molecules), developing preclinical tests of polysaccharides and lectins for schistosomicidal and antitumor activity, and especially in the modulation of inflammatory and healing processes. She is currently an associate professor at the Federal Rural University of Pernambuco, dedicating herself to teaching-learning processes in Biology. Her experience in the area of Teaching emphasizes the construction of meanings related to microscopic and procedural contents/concepts of Biology (Biochemistry, Cell Biology and Genetics), in a systemic-complex perspective and in the multicultural context. These activities are aimed at the initial and continuing education of teachers to work in secondary and higher education. The institution operates in the following postgraduate programs: (1) Postgraduate Program in Science Teaching (master's and doctorate) at UFRPE, since 2001, assuming the Coordination team of this Program in the four-year period 2016-2020; and (2) Northeast Education Network (RENOEN), UFRPE hub, being part of the Coordination of this Hub in the two-year period 2022-2024.
