The Students Universe and the Biochemistry Teaching

The different courses offered in the health area at University, they receive each semester a great number of students, original of different schools of the high school and courses pre-entry examination. The cognitive capacity and of abstraction of each student, as well as the degree of relative previous knowledge to the area, they are factors that generate individual differences inside a same group. In some disciplines of the basic cycle, which are common to several courses of the area of the health, and that are inserted in the curriculum in the first semesters of the graduation courses, previous knowledge are of fundamental importance for the development of the theoretical programmatic content and practice of the discipline. The Biochemistry is a discipline example of cycle basic that is offered in practically all the courses of the health area and which requires mostly Chemistry notions and Cellular Biology. However, the knowledge sometimes acquired of a students certain group is a lot heterogeneous, what it demands of the Biochemistry teacher, the creation of an environment that stimulates the practice application than is being boarded in the scope of the discipline. This work argues the results of a research realized to the ingressants students in the Biochemistry discipline of the graduation courses of the Regional University Foundation of Blumenau - FURB, with the aim of evaluating the degree of previous knowledge.
