Abstract

Under the teaching of biological sciences in the field of botany, the practical aspects of the students' daily life, should be highlighted from the teaching practices and the search for new methodological approaches. the study of plants and their properties usually develops empathy for the student, one of the possible answers to these learning difficulties are related to the teaching methods used. It is believed that the interdisciplinary and diverse teaching methods would be the ways that would help more students to express scientific findings in these interaction activities: student, teacher and content. The method used in this work were theoretical and practical classes., With the implementation of a garden, seeking greater efficiency compared to traditional and lectures in the student learning process. The methodology used were four theoretical lessons practical. The teaching methods used in them ranging from debates, lectures, practical classes statements, written activities and building a garden. In the first activity they were presented the importance of plants, its diversity and applications using newspaper reports as propellant vehicle for discussion and activity. The second was presented to the students the life cycle and reproduction of angiosperms, showing the flower morphology, pollination and the generation of the fruit, using biological material to perform the practice. In the third it was demonstrated to students the organs of angiosperms showing their morphology and development associating with the power of the same, using biological material and artistic intervention by the morphology drawings for determining the content. On Wednesday it showed the importance of the garden implementation at school, emphasizing the biological conservation and the importance of healthy eating. At this point the students will carry out the planting of seedlings and discussed all the analyzed content. The students were participating in the activities and developed satisfactorily tasks. It is therefore concluded that the use of other forms of teaching content covered in books, such as the garden, was successful with respect to student learning.
