Entendendo o funcionamento do sistema imune

Abstract

Immunology is one of the fields of biology dedicated to the study of the immune system, with the aim of knowing the cells and different structures involved in the physiological defense processes of the body and relate them to the different body structures that act in these processes, highlighting their main functions and characteristics, it was proposed to use an investigative didactic sequence (ISD) as an educational aid tool. The ISD was applied remotely, due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, to students of the second grade of Comprehensive High School, from a school in the city of Vitória, a city in the state of Espírito Santo, in three stages: the first, related to the problematization, analyzing the problem situation to develop hypotheses and record; the second, dedicated to problem-solving, in order to promote evidence that support or not their initial conjectures; in the third, there was the systematization of knowledge with the socialization of hypotheses, results, and conclusions. It was observed that this activity becomes necessary in the school context because when it is based on the investigative conception it allows students to start from their previous knowledge to the elaboration of new knowledge, developing their own ideas and putting them under discussion. In fact, it provides instinctive learning for the scientific, to the point of understanding the knowledge already structured over time, and thus, put their protagonism into practice.
