Abstract

This work, framed in a study written to obtain the PhD degree, presents the crossing of the results obtained in a search which involved the conception, construction and evaluation of an eBook, developed with 11th grade students. The eBook appeared in the context of the curricular subunit: “Important geological processes and materials in terrestrial environments – Main sedimentary rock formation steps; The sedimentary rocks, historical archives of the Earth”. The aims of this investigation were to conceptualize, organize, implement and evaluate an eBook built in a teaching perspective oriented to the teaching and learning of Biology and Geology and, simultaneously, to find out at which point a pedagogical tool could be made. To the data gathering, we used the active observation, the students’ questionnaires appliance, worked on SPSS, the production of a classroom diary treated through the analysis of its content and the documental analysis of the eBook content.
