Percepção de estudantes do ensino superior sobre o uso de múltiplas representações como possível ferramenta de estudo

Abstract

Physiology is an important discipline, as its relationship with our daily lives is direct. However, generally the contents contemplated by physiology are considered complex to understand, thus generating high rates of difficulty and retention of students in undergraduate courses that have this discipline in their curriculum. In order to facilitate a better understanding of complex content, such as human physiology, educators seek to understand more about teaching, methodologies and seek to understand how human beings will learn more effectively. However, several times teachers reproduce teaching strategies experienced in scientific untruths, for example, stating that learners will better retain the contents taught if protected by their sensory preference (Vision, hearing, touch, writing/reading), however, proven I consider that, although there may be learning accompaniment, there is not necessarily an advantage in learning through a certain method in an interdisciplinary way. With that in mind, it is important to carry out research that uses different methodologies, especially for teaching human physiology, as it contains a high complexity of its contents. Therefore, the objective of this work was to evaluate the students' perception in relation to the use of multisensory learning strategies that are complementary to the teaching of physiology. For this, the methodology used was identified as quasi-experimental of a quantitative nature, being carried out in the discipline of Human Physiology I of the undergraduate courses in Nursing and Physiotherapy at the Federal University of Pampa and was applied in parallel and in a complementary way to the classes taught by the professor responsible for the component, according to their teaching plan. The outline research with an initial judgment; intervention in the form of online videos; pre-test and post-test; application of satisfaction requests and PANA requests (Positive and Negative Affect Scale). With the results obtained, it can be concluded that the research participants had a great reception to the theme of multisensory methodologies and demonstrated, at the end of the research, a significant result in knowledge, good performance in the tests of the content of the sensorial system. In addition, the emotional participants, at the end of the research, understand about neuromyths and learning styles, in addition to feeling positive valence emotions during the application of the activity.
