Resumen:
The teaching of biology is most often applied through pedagogical practices which evidence concern characteristics to traditional methods. The proposition of this research is to apply a methodological proposal through the construction and analysis of an instructional sequence to the teaching of botany in the caatinga which provides an engagement with the subject, developing with this, the knowledge, the appreciation and conservation of its ecosystem species, contributing to the students’ critical and reflexive thinking about the theme. This work was developed in the Escola Estadual de Fundamental e Médio Professor Lodão, in a 2nd year class of the ensino médio, in Picuí-PB. We used the following teaching methods: theoretical classes, circles of conversation, group seminars, practical classes about vegetal histology and excursion classes which provided a good contextualization on the subject as well as a relation between theory and practice developing the cognitive knowledge of the students and providing a meaningful learning. We observed during the implementation of this project the students effective participation and thus, a contribution in the learning in general. We expect that teachers acquire this work as a basis for cooperate in the pedagogical practices developed in the teaching of botany that allows to modify the evident methods applied in this area.
