O IMPACTO DA INSTRUÇÃO POR PARES NA EDUCAÇÃO BRASILEIRA:

análise da aplicação, desafios e potenciais na melhoria do ensino

Abstract

This work evaluates the Peer Instruction methodology and its impact on Brazilian education. The objective is to explore the benefits and challenges of this active approach, considering its practical application in educational institutions in Brazil. The methodology is analyzed based on the concepts developed by Eric Mazur and other authors, highlighting student-student interaction and the principles that differentiate Peer Instruction from traditional teaching. The framework includes a discussion on the effectiveness of the methodology in promoting in-depth understanding of the content. The research was carried out through a systematic bibliographic review, addressing definitions, characteristics, and challenges of Peer Instruction. The conditions necessary for its effective implementation in face-to-face and remote environments were also examined. Peer Instruction has been shown to promote more meaningful learning and increase student participation. However, challenges such as teacher training and the infrastructure of institutions were identified as critical factors. The research highlights the importance of careful planning and institutional support. The study suggests that the methodology can improve the quality of teaching in Brazil, as long as there are adequate public policies and the inclusion of active methodologies in university curricula. The work offers a practical analysis adapted to the Brazilian context, highlighting the relevance of Peer Instruction to transform basic education, with low cost and high effectiveness.
