Enseñanza de la Botánica en un contexto local: una propuesta didáctica basada en el naranjo morisco de Hornachos - [Teaching Botany from a local context: a didcatic proposal based on Hornacho’s Moorish orange tree]

Abstract

de unidades se realizará un test para evaluar los conocimientos y motivación previos en ambos grupos. Posteriormente a la experiencia didáctica, se realizará un nuevo test que permitirá comparar la evolución de cada grupo y entre ellos. Se esperan obtener resultados positivos que relacionen la propuesta didáctica con el Abstract - A didactic unit is proposed in which Moorish orange tree, a local variety of orange tree characteristic of the town where the study is carried out (Hornachos, Spain), is used as a tool to increase interest in learning botany and the value and natural wealth of the local environment. It is intended to evaluate the importance of using “local contents”, taking advantage of the ethnographic heritage of each place. To this end, a didactic unit is implemented based on the official contents but in which activities and examples focus on the Moorish orange tree of Hornachos. To assess the possible advantages, a control group is taken, in which a similar design unit is delivered, but using as reference other more generic species. Prior to the development of these units, a test is carried out to evaluate previous knowledge and motivation in both groups. After the didactic experience, a new test is delivered to allow to compare the evolution of each group and between them. Positive results are expected to relate the didactic proposal to the increase in meaningful learning and the value of the wealth of its own environment.
