Situación de la enseñanza de la briología en México

Abstract

The teaching of bryology in Mexico confronts various difficulties that prevent students from having at least a broad overview of what bryophytes are. There are three main problems: lack of institutional facilities, lack of specialized literature and ignorance of the structure, biology and significance of these plants on the part of teachers. To resolve these difficulties, schools must obtain the minimum necessary facilities (Microscopes, laboratory materials ans specialized literature) and request specialists to teach courses and colaborate in workshops and fieldtrips to give teachers a better understanding of bryophytes.
