DRAMATICIZATION AS A TEACHING-LEARNING STRATEGY ABOUT THE STRUCTURE OF DNA

Abstract

The teaching-learning process helps students develop certain skills, resulting from the teacher's educational interactions, which are reflected in the development of objectives that address the "why" and "what for." When well-designed, these objectives include what the student will develop, the content to be covered, and the activities to be carried out, which should allow for varying degrees of resolution to meet the diverse needs of the students. This work is the result of a descriptive study, entitled "Dramatization as a Teaching-Learning Strategy for the Content on the Structure of DNA." The objective is to analyze dramatization as a methodology that contributes to improving teaching-learning in the Biology subject for 10th-grade students. Different research methods and techniques were used; in other words, a diagnosis was made of the teaching-learning process of the 10th-grade Biology subject, revealing the limited use of active methodologies for understanding complex content related to Genetics, such as the structure of DNA. Among the many methodologies available for the teaching-learning process, In the teaching-learning process, we can highlight dramatization, which can contribute not only to learning but also to student socialization and interaction. Therefore, dramatization is proposed as a methodology to promote 10th-grade students' understanding of the content on the structure of DNA in Biology.
