| dc.description.abstract | The botanical tree and shrub specimens on the Benfica campus of the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon, located in northern Lisbon, have been created by students specializing in scientific illustration over the past three years as part of their Scientific Drawing course. The project aimed to enhance the students' scientific literacy by assessing their knowledge of tree species (native, exotic, invasive, and/or introduced) using appropriate data collection instruments. This knowledge is considered essential for fostering ecological awareness and promoting sustainable citizenship. This text is derived from an initial evaluation of the ARBOCOVI project (Portuguese acronym for Botanical Art and Visual Cognition), which is supported by the IDI&CA program (Research, Development, Innovation, and Artistic Creation). The program was established in 2016 by the Polytechnic Institute of Lisbon (IPL) to foster research practices. The IPL is a Portuguese polytechnic higher education institution with approximately 14,000 students enrolled across eight schools, covering a wide range of disciplines from arts to technologies, including social sciences. The ARBOCOVI project is a continuation of another initiative called Plant@eselx, which was carried out by colleagues in the Natural Sciences department. The main focus of Plant@eselx was to reforest the limited spaces within the university cam-pus, which were predominantly occupied by parking lots. As part of this project, species identification was done using small boards with e-codes that could be scanned by smartphones to access additional information about each species. Another significant aspect of this project is the recognition that the physical school environment, both indoors and outdoors, offers ample opportunities for experimenting with graphic and artistic techniques related to scientific illustration, eliminating the need to venture beyond the school grounds. This perspective highlights the importance of teaching that remains attentive to the surrounding world, foster-ing an awareness of the interconnectedness between the school and its environment. | pt_PT |
