Análise sobre o tema evolução nos artigos da Revista Genética na escola

Abstract

The 13-year-old Genetics magazine at the school publishes articles related to the teaching of genetics. During this period it has become a reference magazine for teachers who wish to adopt differentiated teaching strategies. Over the years, despite the journal's main focus being Genetics, articles on evolution have been published. Thus, the guiding question of this paper is “How have the articles of the journal Genetics in school been addressing the content of Evolution?” To answer this question, a literature review was conducted in order to analyze works on teaching evolution along of 13 years of publication of the Journal. Thus, 43 articles on evolution teaching were identified and the main strategies adopted were literature review and didactic games dealing mainly with adaptation and natural selection. Other themes such as macroevolution are still little explored. Thus, we hope that this work will lead to the reflection, improvement and expansion of the evolution collection within the journal and stimulate the elaboration and publication of works in this and other areas of evolution that are still little explored.
