Addressing the importance of the topic from a perspective encouraged by the national legislation itself and also by the use of these plants in a popular context, we sought to combine science with culture, categories that are inseparable from human training in Professional and Technological Education. Through the structuring of a teaching site, it was also intended to reflect on notable and important values for our days, such as: sustainability, biodiversity, social inclusion, health care and appreciation of popular knowledge in the academic world. To this end, the study was assumed to be an action research and, through a quantitative-qualitative approach with a collaborative bias, the perception of teachers and students of the Subsequent Technical Course in Nursing at IFAL – Campus Benedito Bentes on the importance of medicinal plants was investigated, as well as holding workshops for the construction of a teaching site, so that all efforts conspired to further promote reflection on the subject. The data obtained was processed and subjected to content analysis and, in the end, it was compiled and an electronic booklet was developed, as an educational product, for use in the maintenance of the new educational space, as well as for those who wish to build educational plant beds. medicinal. It was found that the research results achieved their proposed objectives, contributing to the provision of a new formal education space for the Campus, enabling the combination of cultural values with the scientific application of medicinal plants.Acesso AbertoMedicina popularEducação Profissional e TecnológicaCanteiros didáticosCulturaProduto EducacionalPopular medicineProfessional and Technological EducationDidactic bedsEducational productCultureDissertaçãoCNPQ : CIENCIAS HUMANAS : EDUCACAO
