The study was qualitative in nature and was carried out at action research. Observations, reports and teaching materials produced in this period were taken as empirical materials. During the years of 2018 and 2019 there was the planning and development of classes and teaching materials by the undergraduates on frequent subjects at ENEM and entrance exams, such as: viruses, bacteria, DNA, ecology, Mendelian genetics, origin of life, biological evolution, cellular respiration , photosynthesis, human physiology, plant morphology, histology and health programs. The trainees highlighted the relevance of PIBID for initial teacher training and elementary education.
