- Abstract
This research examines the didactic possibilities of the Strelitzia reginae plant as a case study. It is conducted as a part of the Educ@rteNatureza project at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, which focuses on developing a nature-centered educational model. The study focuses on examining the biological and cultural aspects of the Bird of Paradise plant in central Portugal, in order to transform this knowledge into comprehensive interdisciplinary didactic materials that can be integrated into standard curricula. The findings of the research resulted in the creation of three educational materials for students in the first cycle of basic education. These materials offer holistic exercises to be integrated with existing curriculum subjects such as mathematics and environmental studies and aim to enhance students’ verbal communication skills, raise awareness of basic emotions through non-verbal communication, and facilitate the learning of geometric concepts by utilizing the distinct features of the Strelitzia reginae plant.
