Ensino de Botânica: conhecimento e encantamento na educação científica

ABSTRACT The teaching of Botany is inserted in the broader context of Biological Education. However, it presents some peculiarities that justify a careful and specific analysis of its issues. We reflect on the objectives, challenges and possibilities of focusing on this central theme in Basic Education. We discuss the importance of contextualization to promote quality teaching in Botany, especially when allied with the use of a variety of dynamic didactic strategies conducive to student interest and proaction. Finally, we emphasize the relevance of bringing together University and School, reporting some experiences related to this perspective.

摘要 植物学教学纳入更宽泛的生物学教育整体框架之中，但因其自身存在若干独特性，故而需对其相关问题开展审慎且针对性的剖析。本文就基础教育阶段聚焦植物学这一核心主题的教学目标、挑战与可行路径展开反思；论述了情境化教学对于提升植物学教学质量的重要性，尤其当配合运用各类可激发学生学习兴趣与主动参与性的动态教学策略时，其价值更为凸显；最后，本文强调了打通大学与中小学教学链路的重要意义，并分享了若干契合该理念的实践经验。
