Abstract

The Pedagogical Practice brings together various means of how to construct knowledge and carry out activities that are considered fundamental for the formation of the student. Through this process, mechanisms of mobilization of their previous knowledge, constructed in educational spaces, are created, relating the didactic activities within the classroom with practices outside of it. This study aimed to understand how the Pedagogical Practice in Botany teaching is developed by teachers from elementary schools.
