Perceptions of high school students on the teaching of Zoology

Abstract

The teaching of Zoology is an extremely important activity because it allows students to learn about animal groups, as well as their interactions in ecosystems. However, this teaching has faced numerous difficulties, among which is the lack of the use of active methodologies to achieve effective learning. In this context, the present work aims to analyze the importance of teaching Zoology to high school students. For this, a research with a qualitative approach and descriptive investigation was carried out, whose data collection was via a questionnaire with objective and subjective questions, which sought to describe the perception of students about the teaching of Zoology in two high schools in two cities in the Center-South region of the state of Ceará. Given the results obtained, it was possible to have a broad view of the students' knowledge about the teaching of Zoology, which is permeated by issues of biodiversity and species conservation.
