Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:The constant changes societies have gone through over time make it necessary to adjust educational methodologies to new contexts. At the same time, the way we communicate science has changed with the advent of new technologies and the COVID-19 pandemic. Inthis new reality, video emerges as one of the essential tools for science dissemination. Video abstractsgained prominence among the different kinds of videos used for this purpose. As a link to scientific papers, it ensures quality and rigour, but despite its potential, little is known about how educators could integrate these innovative resources into their classes. For this purpose, a reception studyusingsemi-structured interviews with Biology and Geology teacherswas designed based on an original video abstract analysis. The results indicate that a video abstract should be short, with different formats and languages, and included in a broader pedagogical strategy. Also, thiskind of resource worksas a unique linkbetween academia and high school.
