One of the main features that the human being as a species developed throughout evolution is the ability to communicate. As a field of knowledge, ICT (information and communication technology) have transformed the way we interact with information and how we build knowledge. Faced with a changing perspective technology has been used frequently in the school environment. The development of virtual learning environments is presented as an important tool to the teacher in the exercise of their profession. However, the difficulties attributed to the teacher beyond the idea that the uses of technology can correct the mistakes of the teaching-learning process. In the field of biology, the student body has great difficulty understanding the concepts that require an understanding at the molecular level and its application in daily life, these conceptual characteristics can be identified within the biochemical content. The research was conducted with students from high school to a private school in Parnamirim municipality in Rio Grande do Norte. The research has as its central focus, assess the contribution of the use of educational social network Edmodo in the teaching of biochemistry concepts. To meet the objectives proposed in this study, the methodological approach consisted of four stages developed in the classroom and virtual learning environment (Edmodo). The results indicate a low level of conceptual understanding when the contents are covered in the classroom in the traditional way. With the use of audiovisual tools in the form of documentaries and ICTs in the form of virtual learning environments (Edmodo) the result of the students was positive in the conceptual understanding and the development of new social cognitive skills. The construction of social relationships in virtual learning environments indicate new perspectives evaluation for the teacher. The possibilities of use for improvement in special education-learning process in biology appear quite promising and subareas to be explored, whereas the teacher mediate the construction of an environment conducive to new findings by the students.Acesso AbertoTICEdmodoE-learningAmbiente virtual de aprendizagemEnsino de biologiamasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::MATEMATICA: ENSINO DE CIÊNCIAS NATURAIS E MATEMÁTICA
