CUNHA, Fernando Icaro Jorge; AMARAL, Rosemeire dos Santos  e  DINARDI, Ailton Jesus. The use of QR Code in Botany Teaching: a proposal for a school track for the final years of Elementary School. Educ. Teoria Prática [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.67, e72. ISSN 1981-8106.  https://doi.org/10.18675/1981-8106.v34.n.67.s17879.

The environmental crisis highlights the degradation of the environment and signals the growing distance in the relationship between individuals and nature. In this way, human beings have become disconnected from the admiration of environmental scenes, from the visualization of plants in the environment, which results in the so-called “botanical imperception”. The scientific-academic literature points to a series of gaps in the teaching and learning processes of Botany, mainly with regard to obsolete, traditional and disconnected teaching with the reality of students. In view of this, this work aims to build a school Botanical Trail for Elementary School, through the use of the QR Code as a teaching and learning strategy in Natural Sciences. In methodological terms, 9 tree species were identified and characterized around a rural school, located in the city of Uruguaiana, a municipality in Oeste Gaúcho. That said, a pedagogical intervention was promoted with a 9th year class, made up of 12 students. In this activity, students actively participated in the creation of botanical plaques, using the QR Code as a structuring element for the implementation of the school Botanical Trail. The results point to the importance of participatory research in the teaching and learning process, as students built significant learning in understanding botanical concepts, differentiating species into types of leaves and fruits, contributing to the contextualized and bioregional Environmental Education approach.
