Resumo(s)
For this case study video was used in
the context of a course of Biological
Classification and Evolution. This is a course
that integrates within a 3-year Environmental
Sciences degree (Bachelor). This degree is given
by the Universidade Aberta (Open University of
Portugal) in e-learning. The objectives of this
course are essentially to study the biological
classification as well as their evolution in
temporal scale. Videos were used to explain
evolution, illustrate the scheme of animals and
their behaviour To achieve this objective several
links were used to free videos on the internet.
Descriptions of certain behaviour are much
easier to understand when viewing animals
doing it compare with a text description.
The visualization of videos by students is advice
but not compulsory. Some of the student used it
others no. From written evaluations was detected
that the students that watch the videos have
better results in identification of animals,
principally if the photo is taken while an animal
is moving. A small survey is done to evaluated
how the students considering videos important to
their learning.
