EDUCABIO: WEBSITE AS A PEDAGOGICAL TOOL FOR TEACHING BRAZILIAN BIOMES AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

Abstract

his article aimed to showcase the creation of an educational website called “EducaBio,” which features content focused on teaching about Brazilian biomes and environmental impacts, with the goal of facilitating access to information on the subject and encouraging students' active participation in their teaching and learning process. The platform was developed using various programming languages, such as HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, within the “Visual Studio Code” application, which enabled the inclusion of videos, the creation of an interactive map, quizzes, and educational games. After its implementation, the platform was tested with high school students, undergraduate students in the biological sciences, and biology teachers, with the aim of evaluating the website as a pedagogical aid in the teaching of science and biology. The results indicated that the “EducaBio” website enhanced the teaching process regarding biomes and environmental impacts, making classes more dynamic and interactive, stimulating students’ interest, and supporting teachers’ efforts in environmental education.
