Abstract

The use of smartphones in education has become a valuable, ubiquitous tool with multifunctional features that offer a multitude of educational opportunities, transforming the way students learn and educators teach. Among the available resources are applications aimed at the teaching and learning process, in this context, the present work aims to demonstrate the applicability and potential of the Botanica Morfologica application from mobile devices, such as smartphones, in the process of Botany teaching. To this end, a bibliographical survey was carried out to contextualize the teaching of Botany, with a locus of study in higher education. All the resources present in the application were explored, and it was noted that their use can be a differentiator in the classroom, as the available tools facilitate the understanding and fixation of botanical terms by viewing images and explanatory notes, highlighting the possibility of playing individually or in groups that makes the learning process more dynamic and enjoyable.
