Resumo
In the context of microbiology education, there is a notable difficulty in addressing concepts about viruses in basic education, particularly due to the abstract nature of the content and the limited availability of accessible and interactive teaching resources. This gap in the teaching learning process can hinder the understanding of viral cycles and their biological implications, making the development of innovative didactic strategies essential to promote meaningful and inclusive assimilation of this knowledge. In response to this challenge, this study presents the development and analysis of a didactic sequence on virology, specifically designed for high school students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), aiming to foster significant and inclusive learning. The didactic sequence was structured with an investigative approach, encouraging curiosity and student engagement, and is divided into progressive and interactive stages. The activities include the use of comic strips to introduce the theme of virology, modeling viral structures with clay to facilitate concrete visualization of viruses, assembling reproductive cycles on a felt board to enhance understanding of biological processes, and a virtual question-and-answer game that consolidates learning in a playful and accessible way. Considering the specific learning needs of students with ASD, the project explored the use of visual, tactile, and digital resources, which aid in comprehending abstract content and encourage the development of cognitive and social skills. The study reinforces the importance of inclusive methodologies in science education, demonstrating that pedagogical adaptations not only facilitate learning for students with special needs but also empower them to understand relevant public health issues and develop informed and critical citizenship. Thus, this didactic sequence contributes to the field of inclusive and scientific education, offering an applicable and adaptable model for teaching complex topics to diverse student profiles
