Jurassic world camp cretaceous: an animated series as a teaching tool for paleogenomics

Given the significant influence of pop culture conveyed through traditional, digital, and streaming media on the lives of Young people, this study investigated an audiovisual production in the cartoon genre, aimed at the adolescent audience. This research presents a qualitative approach and use of the documentary analysis technique based on an audiovisual document represented by a single episode of the first season of the animated series Jurassic Word: Camp Cretaceous, broadcast by Netflix, with the aim of identifying paleogenomic knowledge conveyed in scenes that serve as a reference for the construction of updated paleontological knowledge. Based on the analysis, it was possible to conclude that the film production analyzed is the only current animated science fiction series that addresses themes related to Paleogenomics, and is therefore useful to be used in high school classrooms as a pedagogical tool to engage and motivate debates that promote the construction of biogeoscientific knowledge basedon a culture familiar to the student.
