Teaching. Botany. Phanerogams. Sequence. Through Digital Information Technologies (TDICs).
The worry with the lack of interest, theoretical and usntinting classes related to the teaching of botany, in Brazil, and the need for possible improvements to education bring to light the search for thinking about different strategies and pedagogical alternatives that plants in order to overcome these difficulties. In front of this, with the aim of helping students in the teaching- learning process, this research has had the objective of producing, to apply and to investigate the contributions of an investigative didactic sequence through digital information technologies like about the large plant groups:( Gymnosperms and Angiosperms) having as a scenery the cerrado biome in biology subject, with high school students from Polivalente Teacher Antuza school, in Campos Belos city in the state of Goiás. The exam has been in seven classes at school, in the classroom and in the computer lab. All activities can be passed in any school, specially full-time schools. The data obtained were analyzed in the qualitative aspect an exploratory through a diagnostic and evaluative questionnaire, participation in field class, discussion in seminars, raising hypotheses for problem situations and participation in education virtual games. The results presented showed that the use of TDICs in application of SDI contributed to increase the interest and motivation in the teaching-learning process of botanical knowledge for the students of the second grade of Polivalente school. It was noticed that the students were excited and engaged effectively in all stages of the application. The participant´s report confirmed the importance of offering classes with active methodologies that provide them with a leading role in the teaching-learning process.
