This study proposed to understand the difficulties that the teachers of Sciences are facing in the
teaching of Botanics in elementary education II, having as a starting point a study directed to
the municipality of Salvaterra (PA). The teaching of botany since the basic education has been
marked by traditional courses, as they are still shown to be impacted by a technical teaching
and that in a certain way still has its starting point occurring from the initial formation, having
its culmination in the shortage of continued training to the teachers of Sciences and especially
in the area of Botanics. The aim of this work was to investigate the difficulties that teachers of
Sciences have in teaching the content correlated with the object-oriented learning within the
thematic axes that involve knowledge on Botanics. Discussing the difficulties, however,
without forgetting the importance of the use of alternative methods to promote a scientific
education that aims at promoting an educational process in which the non-formal spaces are
pointed out as a way of this teaching action learning can continue to develop from experience
and experience in different locations, such as using the ecological trails, enabling a new walk
within the teaching of Botanics. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to obtain data from
individuals involved in the survey questions, made available online. The results show that the
difficulties observed in teaching may be related to methods that need to be improved, in the
areas of contextualization. This study aims to meet, at least in part, the need to investigate and
based on the reflections arranged by the research and propose alternatives of elements that can
serve as auxiliaries in the construction of methodologies that contribute to the improvement in
the work carried out in the classroom for the teaching of Botanics for the final series of
elementary education.
