Online Comic Strips Production in the interdisciplinary approach to teaching Biology and Languages

Resumen

Due to the advent of the new coronavirus pandemic, the need for isolation has led many education professionals to create alternative methods to adapt to the new reality of teaching practical classes outside the laboratory and the school environment. In this context, interdisciplinarity becomes an ally in the teaching-learning process, enabling the interaction of content from different areas, favoring student learning. In the classes of Writing and Biology of a federal public institution, an interdisciplinary activity of production of comic strips was promoted with the use of digital technologies. The aim of this paper is to verify to what extent the students used in their texts the characteristics of the comic strips textual genre, articulating with a narrative that demonstrated mastery of the concepts about the functions and characteristics of the organelles. This work is a case study in which analytics were carried out with a qualitative approach of the comic strips produced by the students. The analysis of these productions revealed that the students were able to produce a text that was appropriate to the textual genre that reflected their knowledge in the field of Biology. Regarding the use of digital technologies, it was noted that 70% of the productions were made with the aid of some digital tool.
