Abstract

Fun activities, such as parodies, are among the creative teaching strategies that can motivate learning and critical analysis. This article describes the process of constructing and diffusion of parodies as an instrument for transmission and assimilation of the technical concepts involving microbiology, in the project called ‘Musicalizando a Biologia’ (musicalization of biology), associated with the distance education undergraduate course in biology offered by University of Ceará/Open University of Brazil. It is a experience report of the production of three parodies, through which it was possible to establish the criteria, as well as the choice of popular melodies to facilitate memorization of the content and ideas. The results indicate that the use of this tool can make significant contributions to teaching and favoring the learning of concepts of microbiology.
