摘要:This paper focuses on a study on learning the conservation of local flora; it is based on a visit to the Lava Pata watershed and Pepe Coloma nursery (Cubiro, Venezuela). It compares the effect of guided tours on the performance of first year students (during 2011-2012) at Liceo Bolivariano Pepe Coloma, Lara State, Venezuela. A sample of 36 students is divided into two experimental groups (A and B). By contrasting the average scores on the posttest for both groups, increased student achievement is shown to be linked to a higher level in students whom visit and learn about the conservation of native flora the nursery in Pepe Coloma; unlike the group that attended the Lava Pata watershed.
