RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: This experimental study compared two educational strategies using the pedagogy of a comic book story (HQ) and a demonstration circuit (CD), to teach instructions for correct posture habits. METHOD: 80 students from the 2nd and 3rd grades of an elementary school in São Paulo city were studied using a questionnaire before and after the education program, and also six months after the end of the research, to assess the retention of the correct habits. RESULTS: The correct rates after the instructions increased 90% for both education strategies, except for the sleeping posture, which had more correct responses in the CD education practice. CONCLUSION: In the comparison between the comic book story and the demonstration circuit education strategies, both were effective in the memorization of correct postural habits
