(Teaching in group and debate for the learning of theories related to the origin of life and biological evolution in the 3rd. years of High School of E. E. Pirassununga, SP.). It is considered that it is the teaching of Biology (Natural Sciences) in Brazil, to provide the students with keys essential for the solution of scientific and technical questions of everyday life related to socio-philosophical subjects, among which are discussions on theories related to the origin of life and evolutionary processes, interrelated subjects and permeated by beliefs and ideologies that, if they do not go through a wide and delicate planning by the teacher, can generate controversies and discussions in their approach in classrooms. Using the methodologies of Teaching in Groups and Discussions and Debates, the pedagogical intervention provided an active learning, promoting with dynamism, efficiency and effectiveness knowledge about the themes origin of life (Creationism, Panspermia, Intelligent Design) and Evolutionism (Lamarckism, Darwinism and Neo-Darwinism or Synthetic Theory of Evolution). Also, it was noted at the end of the project improvement in reading and writing skills. However, there is still a need to deepen text interpretation techniques with students. The project participants also expressed concern about the continuity of the project for future colleagues, highlighting guiding principles of conscientious and socially responsible citizens.
