The technological advances have impacted all spheres of society, modifying the forms of relationship between the subjects and of these with the information and communication systems. These changes require, in the educational sector, the breaking of paradigms, placing the student as the center of the teaching- learning process, rather than mere spectator. In this sense, the objective of this work was to investigate the use of the WebQuest methodology as an element of mediation of the teaching andlearning of Biology. The work is part of PPGTER's Network of Educational Technologies Development research line and has as final product the production of two WebQuests. The work was developed in a first year class of the polytechnic high school of the night shift, and later evaluated and reapplied the following year in the same class (second year) of a school of the state public network of the city of Santa Maria - RS. This is a qualitative research, of the research-action type, considering as subjects 13 students, aged between 16 and 38 years and the researchers involved. The data collection instruments adopted were a questionnaire containing open and closed questions and the exchange of information between researchers and students on the social network Facebook ©. The results show that the Web 2.0 resources planned and oriented through the WebQuest methodology make it possible to arouse interest in learning, to guide work more effectively and to provide knowledge construction in a socio-constructivist perspective.
