El Jardín Botánico de Caracas: un espacio didáctico para la enseñanza de los biomas de Venezuela

In this research, the effectiveness of the use of the Caracas Botanical Garden (JBC) as a didactic space for teaching and learning about Venezuela's Biomes was evaluated through the application of fieldwork in second-year students of General High School. Methodologically, the study has a quantitative field approach and a quasi-experimental plan of comparison between an experimental group (teaching with fieldwork) and a control group (traditional teaching), using a test as a measurement instrument. As a result, there was a significant increase in the percentage of students passing compared to the control group. It was 93% vs. 65% in conceptualizations associated with the subject, 89% vs. 56% in recognition of biological forms, and 72% vs. 9% in the determination of biomes when employing their physiognomic characteristics. It is concluded that the JBC is an ideal space for fieldwork, which allows the teaching and learning of Venezuela's biomes.
