Being a study of natural reality, the abstract character presented by concepts such as sigmetum, sinassociation, series, geoserie, climatófilo, edafoxerofilo, catena; it is perfectly clarified to the student, which makes the student progress efficiently, coming to the fore the acquisition of practical knowledge compared to theoretical ones. For this reason practical teaching acquires preponderance, since it not only provides knowledge, but also development of cognitive and psychomotor skills, which are essential in the acquisition of skills and development of the individual's personality.
