| Sumario: | Biological rhythms are part of the life from the simplest to the most complex living beings. In
humans, one of the most important biological rhythms is the sleep-wake cycle (SWC), which
represents an indispensable behavior for health, since sleep deprivation can lead to deficits in
attention and memory, mood and daytime sleepiness which may affect school performance.
Nevertheless, the SWC is a content rarely discussed in schools. Thus, the aim of this research
was to address contents of the sleep-wake cycle, related to the content of Health to encourage
healthy sleep habits. This study was conducted in a public school with 33 students of the 3rd
year of high school and is divided into four stages: 1st) Study and analysis of the content of
the textbook adopted by the school to subsidize the activities covered in the teaching unit
(TU) and approximation with the biology teacher from the class to evaluated the feasibility of
schedules for the development of TU; 2nd) Survey of students' prior knowledge, through a
questionnaire, to guide the development of the TU; 3rd) Development and implementation of
a TU based on meaningful learning and characterization of the students sleep habits, 4th)
Evaluation of the TU as a viable proposal to teach biological rhythms concepts. Previous
knowledge of students about the SWC are scarce and this content is not covered in the books
adopted by the school. Alternative conceptions were observed, particularly with regard to
individual differences in sleep, which may contribute to the occurrence of inadequate sleep
habits, as reported by the adolescents in this study. The activities developed during UD were
well received by the students who showed participative, motivated and evaluated positively
the procedures used by the researcher. After the TU, students' knowledge about the concept of
biological rhythms has been increased and they started to identify that the SWC changes
throughout life and occur due biological and socio-cultural factors. Thus, the UD elaborated
in this study represents a viable proposal to teach the concepts of biological rhythms
contextualized to the content of Health, in high school |
