Abstract

The plants constitute a major subject of Biology education in university. There are indeed lessons of  botany, even though the plant is no longer a scientific concept but only represents a daily concept in terms of  historical problems. This study aims to identify some difficulties related to teaching of plant classification and evaluate university students knowledge in plant biology and their ability to mobilize this knowledge to classify plants. We used the questionnaire and semi-structured interviews as an investigative tool. Preliminary results show that students find significant difficulties in identifying species by using key determination.
