RESUMEN: En 2013, se creó el proyecto “Adopta una Bacteria” para involucrar

a estudiantes en microbiología mediante publicaciones personalizadas en Fa-

cebook®. Con cambios en las preferencias de redes sociales, el proyecto migró a

Instagram®. Este estudio analiza el impacto pedagógico de esa transición entre

estudiantes de Ciencias Biomédicas del ICB-USP inscritos en un curso básico de

bacteriología. Como metodología de aprendizaje acvo, se aplicaron cuesonarios

voluntarios y anónimos antes del curso (Q1), después (Q2) y cinco meses más tarde

(Q3) para evaluar conocimientos previos, adquiridos y retenidos. Los datos recopi-

lados fueron analizados mediante categorización, tablas de frecuencia y el Índice

de Diversidad de Shannon. Los resultados mostraron mayor aprendizaje en Insta-

gram®, evidenciado por el uso ampliado de terminología bacteriológica y valores

superiores del Índice de Shannon en Q2 y Q3. Estos hallazgos indican que “Adopta

una Bacteria” sigue siendo ecaz para promover aprendizaje acvo y fortalecer la

educación en microbiología.

PALABRAS CLAVE: Aprendizaje acvo. Adopta una Bacteria. Educación en microbiologia.

ABSTRACT: Created in 2013, the “Adopt a Bacterium” project engages students in

microbiology through social media, inially using Facebook® and later migrang

to Instagram® as preferences shied. This study examines the pedagogical im-

pact of the transion among Biomedical Science undergraduates at the University

of São Paulo enrolled in a bacteriology course. The project employed voluntary,

anonymous quesonnaires: before the course (Q1) to assess prior knowledge, im-

mediately aer (Q2) to measure learning, and ve months later (Q3) to evaluate

retenon. Data were collected over three years and supported by a project evalua-

on survey. Analyses included themac categorizaon, frequency tables generated

with Pandas in IPython, and the Shannon Diversity Index to assess discourse rich-

ness. Results showed improved learning on Instagram®, with increased bacteriolo-

gy terminology and higher Shannon Index values in Q2 and Q3. Findings indicate

that “Adopt a Bacterium” remains eecve across plaorms, promong acve le-

arning, student engagement, and microbiology educaon overall impact.

KEYWORDS: Acve learning. Adopt a Bacterium. Microbiology educaon. Virtual

RESUMO: Em 2013, o projeto “Adote uma Bactéria” foi criado para engajar es-

tudantes em microbiologia por meio de postagens personalizadas no Facebook®.

Com mudanças nas preferências de uso de redes sociais, migrou posteriormen-

te para o Instagram®. Este estudo analisa o impacto pedagógico dessa transição

entre estudantes de Ciências Biomédicas do ICB-USP matriculados em uma dis-

ciplina introdutória de bacteriologia. Como metodologia de aprendizagem ava,

aplicaram-se quesonários voluntários e anônimos: antes da disciplina (Q1), após

seu término (Q2) e cinco meses depois (Q3), para avaliar conhecimento prévio,

adquirido e redo. Os dados coletados ao longo de três anos foram analisados

por categorização temáca, tabelas de frequência e pelo Índice de Diversidade de

Shannon. Os resultados indicaram que o Instagram® promoveu maior aprendizado,

evidenciado pelo uso ampliado de terminologia bacteriológica e por valores supe-

riores do Índice de Shannon. Assim, o projeto mantém ecácia em diferentes plata-

formas digitais, fortalecendo a aprendizagem ava em microbiologia atualmente.

PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Aprendizagem ava. Adote uma Bactéria. Ensino de microbiologia.

Ambientes virtuais de aprendizagem. Mídias sociais.
