A BIOQUÍMICA POR TRÁS DA COVID-19: DESENVOLVIMENTO E APLICAÇÃO DE WEBQUEST DIRECIONADA AO ENSINO REMOTO EMERGENCIAL

THE BIOCHEMISTRY BEHIND COVID-19: WEBQUEST DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING

THE BIOCHEMISTRY BEHIND COVID-19: WEBQUEST DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION FOR EMERGENCY REMOTE TEACHING. WebQuests are inquiry-oriented activities structured in such a way that almost all resources used come from the web. The present study aims to investigate to what extent a WebQuest focusing on Biochemistry and COVID-19 can be used as an instructive tool to enhance undergraduate students’ media and information literacy (MIL). Students’ opinions on the use of the WebQuest were also discussed. The WebQuest was implemented in a BSc in Physical and Biomolecular Sciences course in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the results of this study, the WebQuest has improved the MIL competence of students and motivated them towards learning Biochemistry.
