摘要:The teaching of botany is characterised as being taught in a
theoretical and uninteresting way for students. The purpose of this work is
to discover what students think of the way Botany is taught and their views
on the subject. In order to achieve this goal an open questionnaire was
presented to the first year undergraduate students studying Biological
Sciences. 221 students from 3 different universities filled in the
questionnaire. From the results gathered, students in our sample were in
favour of a more practical teaching of Botany, and if they were the
professors, they would transfer the class into the field after theoretical
lessons. This inversion of positions (from student to teacher) brought a
modification in the way they feel Botany should be taught, in spite of the
players being the same. This article has pointed out that the representation
of a concept can vary depending on the subject’s point of view and that it is
important to pay close attention to the training of these future Biology
teachers.
