Análise do potencial de áreas verdes urbanas em Pedro II-PI, como prática didática no ensino de botânica

Abstract

Education in Brazil faces many difficulties regarding practical teaching, the school has undergone a significant transformation over the years, which shows the need for improvement in some aspects, such as field classes. Practical or field classes an be developed in any gree area, whether in the gardens of the schools themselves, in the city squares or in the backyard. Thus, the branch of botany, which is studied in science, is inserted in this context, as it is a diversified branch and little explored in theoretical classes and mainly in practical ones. In this way, the objective of this work was to identify the presence of green areas in the main public squares of the city of Pedro II, which allow the realization of practical botany classes. For this, visits were made to the city squares that have the greatest flow of people to identify the presence of these green areas. The squares whit the greatest circulation of people were Domingos Mourão Filho, Deputado Milton Brandão and Manoel Nogueira Lima squares. The Domingos Mourão Filho the Deputado Milton Brandão squares are the main squares in the city of Pedro II and have the potential to be used as a botany teaching space. On the other hand, the Manoel Nogueira Lima square, even though iti is very wide, because it has little trees, makes it impossible to use it in practical classes.
