CARMELO, Fernando Biasi do Monte  y  GOMES, Paulo César. BIOLOGY APP AS A MEDIATOR OF SCIENCE EDUCATION: WHAT DO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS THINK?. ETD - Educ. Temat. Digit. [online]. 2021, vol.23, n.2, pp.534-550. ISSN 1676-2592.  https://doi.org/10.20396/etd.v23i2.8657566.

The proper use and insertion of Mobile and Wireless Information and Communication Technologies can significantly favor different possibilities in the teaching-learning-evaluation process in Biology teaching. Our central objective of this text was to investigate how students from a public high school perceive their learning in the Biology curricular component and the relationship they have with TIMS, especially regarding the smartphone use. A self-administered questionnaire was used, which was applied in the presence of the researcher, answered by 220 participants. The results showed that more than 97% of students have access to TIMS, more than 60% use smartphones for more than six hours/day, and 75% of them said they liked biological content. However, the use of TIMS, with pedagogical purpose in the classroom, is denied or neglected by biology teachers.
