Abstract

FELIZARDO DA LUZ, L.T; REBELO DA SILVA, G. Teaching intervention in youth and adult education: interdisciplinary approach about non-transmissible chronic diseases. Revista Científica JOPEF, Vol.28, n.1, pp.54-61, 2019. In this article, we discuss a didactic intervention on the theme Noncommunicable Chronic Diseases linked to eating and life habits. The action was developed with three groups of 2nd year of High School of Youth and Adult Education (EJA) in the subjects of Physical Education and Chemistry. For strategy, we use, firstly, terms present in the students' daily life and, subsequently, the substitution for scientifically adequate language, aiming at a better understanding of the subject by the students. Based on the results, we stress the importance of interdisciplinary interventions that promote lifestyle improvements and seek to stimulate students' interest in these areas through curiosities about the functioning of our body and its relationship with food and physical activities. Furthermore, we seek to bring the subjects closer to the area of chemistry, by explaining the types of chemical reactions that occur in our body, according to the diet and lifestyle we follow. After the development of ID, students' understanding was improved. They easily assimilated how well eating and good habits can positively influence quality of life and were willing to change. Keywords: Chronic Diseases. Interdisciplinarity. Didactic intervent.
