Considerations on the use of comics as a strategy for Teaching Natural Sciences

The use of Comics (Comics) as a tool and/or pedagogical resource in the Teaching of Natural Science represents a relevant practice, as it promotes playfulness and interaction, these being the structuring axes established by the National Common Curricular Base, for promotion of learning in Basic Education. Given this aspect, the present study aims to analyze the use of Comics in Science Teaching, as well as the contribution to the global development of students. A qualitative approach was adopted, using bibliographical research and proposals for the use of comics with the possibility of being used in the classroom, not only in Science Teaching, but in different curricular components. It is noted that the adoption of comics in Natural Sciences classes generates more dynamic learning, with possibilities for building knowledge in a plural and contextualized way. When considering the importance of this practice, integration into the school environment is noted, highlighting the interface between students' personal experiences, the school curriculum and classroom dynamics. This educational proposal provides an immersive experience, offering students the opportunity to formulate responses to real situations in the contemporary world.
