Abstract
The need to achieve better results in the assimilation of botanical content by students means that we must consider moving from classical methodologies to active methodologies in the classroom. Getting with them that the students are the main authors of their significant learning. Strategies that generate good results once they have been applied in the classroom are such as discovery learning, recommended for all levels but especially for primary education; and learning based on problem solving in secondary education. It is especially important that the teacher makes sure that the students’ metacognitive strategies are correct, then proceeding to the teaching of botany from the discovery or proposing problem solving by the students. These strategies will allow students to actively and self-sufficiently establish and acquire concepts such as biological cycles, relationship between ecosystems, nutritional needs of plants or their floral structures. For this, the teacher will use the green spaces of the center, the school garden and will even leave the physical classroom, transferring learning to different spaces and scenarios.
