Abstract

Abstract Despite the many challenges faced by the sudden adaptation of the teaching–learning processes during the emergency remote teaching (ERT) imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, this period allowed the exploration of innovative educational methods. Here, we report the description and evaluation of a didactic activity designed to foster an active learning environment among Veterinary Medicine undergraduate students enrolling in Microbiology classes during the ERT period at the University of Minas Gerais. The activity consisted of initial expositive classes, followed by students’ active search for information, and the execution of a report and short comics covering the topic. The activity was evaluated by a voluntary postquestionnaire. The results suggest that the students had good emotional and educational perception toward the task, and that they noticed the elaboration of the comics as the most valuable tool aiding in the retention of microbiological concepts. We conclude that the proposed strategy, specially by the incorporation of the comics, helped the meaningful learning of microbiology.
