SUMMARY:

The research aimed to analyze the conceptions of high school students about angiosperms through their mental models. Botany is considered an area of biology in which the contents are covered superficially, not delving into concepts and meanings that help to understand plants, especially angiosperms, and their importance for the environment, biodiversity and society, which contributes to botanical imperception throughout students' educational development. Therefore, botany teaching needs to be more diversified, with regard to the inclusion of motivating strategies, different technologies, games and teaching models. The qualitative-descriptive study, using questionnaires and interventions such as the visit to the non-formal space of the Recife-PE Botanical Garden and among other actions that were carried out through the course of events provided by CEK, which consists of the methodological sequence of this research. Data collection consisted of a pre- and post-intervention questionnaire. Data analysis involved Johnson-Laird's Theory of Mental Models from Palmeiro's perspective to analyze and classify pre- and post-intervention mental models, and Laurence Bardin's content analysis was used to analyze the discursive questions. At first, it was observed that the interventions that were made with the students, especially in the classroom, CEK's investment stage, and the visit to the Garden carried out in the Meeting stage, provided theoretical support that allowed students the opportunity to reformulate the elements conceptual concepts that are present in the different conceptions they hold of angiosperms, through conceptual reframing, correction of conceptual errors and elimination of mistaken concepts, so that they could re-elaborate their conceptions and mental models after the interventions, in order to bring textual arguments and mental models more refined, robust and assertive, bringing them closer to scientific literature.
