Monitoria de bioquímica: uma análise dos ganhos intelectuais a partir da perspectiva dos alunos monitorados

Abstract

Monitoring is a pedagogical support service offered to students interested in deepening content and solving difficulties in relation to the subject worked in the classroom. In this context, in the present work, we aimed to analyze the learning gains for students of the biology course in the biochemistry discipline. The methodological approach was a qualitative study, where, collected data were subjected to content analysis using the categorical analysis technique. A questionnaire was applied digitally, using the Google forms platform, to monitored students at the Federal University of North Tocantins (UFNT) of the Biology course, enrolled in the period 2019/1, 2019/2 and 2021/1. The results showed that monitoring has great potential, when applied with determination and strategy, being able to meet different needs, going beyond a mere space for clearing up doubts, thus reaching pedagogical dimensions, helping the participating students to study with greater organization, understand their difficulties and take an active stance in the search for knowledge. Thus, it was noted that the monitored students converge on the relevance of monitoring for their learning, attributing, above all, the applied language, the monitor's commitment and the methodologies carried out as the main contributors to its effectiveness
