“植物盲”被定义为未能认识到植物的根本重要性。为了解决这一现象，我们创建了宠物植物项目 (P-3)，学生可以从种子中种植未知植物，监控发育情况，并将讲座概念与他们的植物每天联系起来。我们进行了一项定性调查并进行分析，以评估学生对这次体验的反应。田纳西理工大学 209 名学生参与者确定了分析的主题，包括对讲座材料的积极强化、对植物的新认识、与植物护理相关的责任和自豪感、种植植物的持续愿望等等。统计结果包括：73%的学生在项目结束后更多地注意到植物； 76%的人计划在未来种植植物； 68% 的人与自己的工厂建立了联系，以提高对课程材料的参与度。
"Plant blindness" is defined as the failure to appreciate the fundamental importance of plants. To address this phenomenon, we created the Pet Plant Project (P-3) where students grow an unknown plant from seed, monitor development, and relate lecture concepts to their plant on a daily basis. A qualitative survey was administered and analyzed to evaluate student responses to the experience. Themes in the analysis, identified across 209 studentparticipants at Tennessee Tech University, included positive reinforcement of lecture material, a new-found appreciation for plants, responsibility and pride related to plant care, a continued desire to grow plants, and more. Statistical results included: 73% of students noticed plants more after the project; 76% planned to grow plants in the future; and 68% made a connection with their own plant that bolstered engagement in course materials.
