Abstract

This research project focuses on designing a digital herbarium as a Virtual Learning Object (VLO) for the recognition of ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal plants with 9-4 and 9-5 grade students at the Genaro León Educational Institution in Guachucal-Nariño. The importance of ancestral knowledge and ethnobotany in this region is highlighted, as well as the relevance of the project for preserving and valuing this knowledge in relation to the biocultural heritage of the territory. The need to use a mixed descriptive research approach, with the use of initial and final questionnaires, to identify students' initial knowledge, plan a Teaching-Learning Sequence (TLS) based on the digital herbarium, and evaluate its impact on the recognition of ancestral knowledge is recognized. The digital herbarium is emphasized as a VLO and its role in recognizing and valuing ancestral knowledge, as well as its positive impact on students' learning and perception of the topic. The project also succeeded in promoting meaningful and contextualized learning of biology through the use of technological means and mediations, and the development of skills, competencies, attitudes, and knowledge in students.
