Proposta de abordagem do tema ansiedade no ensino de biologia desenvolvida com estudantes do primeiro ano d ensino médio do município de Taparuba

Abstract

The growing incidence of anxiety among adolescents has drawn the attention of health and education professionals worldwide, a phenomenon amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Manifestations of anxiety, in addition to causing physiological changes, negatively affect young people's emotional health, posing a challenge within the educational context. Various studies highlight the school as a conducive environment for addressing anxiety. Biology education, through an investigative approach, emerges as an effective strategy to provide students with tools to understand the main signs and symptoms, as well as the most evident physiological changes related to this disorder.This study analyzes the implementation of an investigative didactic sequence on anxiety, applied to first-year high school students at the Orlando Alves Pereira State School, located in the municipality of Taparuba/MG, in partnership with the Student Support Center (NAE), linked to the Municipal Department of Education. After completing the proposed activity, a focus group was conducted with the participating students to evaluate the activity developed. As a final product, a digital booklet was created for Biology teachers, consolidating the knowledge built throughout the implementation and assessment of the teaching proposal aimed at students.
