Resumen
This study presents as its central theme the importance of using different didactic tools
to overcome the learning difficulties in abstract content such as Cellular and Molecular
Biology in the elementary and high school. The didactic resources offer to motivate students
in the teaching-learning process, represent an alternative to overcome the exclusive use of the
textbook as research material, reading for students and lessons planning for teachers. The
thesis is divided in four chapters presented in the form of articles. The first chapter presents an
investigation about behavior, acceptance and performance of students in high school facing
the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). Allied ICT analyzed the
applicability of practical activities in teaching Biology to support the introduction of computer
resources. Chapter two investigates whether students motivated by the use of different
teaching strategies to better understand about organization and functioning of the cell. In the
third one investigates the use of different didactic resources (practical class with microscope
and historical replicas, reading comic books and model building) in understanding of Cell
Biology for students of elementary school and whether the program about cell teaching is
really suitable. The fourth chapter examines whether the program about cell teaching is
worked differently in the elementary and high school and which idea that students have about
Cell Biology at the different levels of education. The ICT, through the webquest tool, proved
to be an important didactic resource for teaching Molecular Biology, as well as motivated and
instigated the students to build your knowledge. Moreover, the webquest presented
applicability when combined with practical activity of DNA extraction. The different didactic
resources had an important role in the student s motivation. Besides motivating, the different
teaching tools helped in learning when the Cell Biology was related the student s daily life.
The results indicated that the cell teaching is taught similarly in the elementary and high
school. There was no greater maturity and conceptual evolution in high school, because the
level of response complexity was similar to that found in elementary school. Thus, the
didactic-pedagogic resources may be strategies important to stimulate students' curiosity, the
desire for discovery and knowledge.
