Vpliv različnih informativnih prikazov na razumevanje in stališča učencev o vročinskih valovih : magistrsko delo

Mlakar, Maša (avtor), Torkar, Gregor (mentor)

V magistrskem delu smo raziskovali, kako informativni prikaz v obliki besedila v primerjavi z informativnim prikazom v obliki infografike vpliva na stališča in znanje učencev o vročinskih valovih. Raziskavo smo izvedli na 78 učencih šestega in sedmega razreda osnovne šole v Posočju. V vsakem razredu sta bila dva oddelka, pri čemer je eden izmed oddelkov dobil informativni prikaz besedila, drugi pa infografike. Informativna prikaza sta bila med učenci naključno razporejena, nakar so kasneje rešili vprašalnik iz dveh delov. S prvim delom smo preverjali stališča učencev do vročinskih valov, z drugim delom pa znanje učencev. Pri raziskavi smo uporabili kvantitativni raziskovalni pristop v povezavi s kvalitativnim pristopom in kvazi-eksperimentalno metodo pedagoškega raziskovanja. S pomočjo testa znanja, ki je bil vključen v vprašalnik, smo ugotovili, da se izkazano znanje med skupinama učencev, ki sta prejeli različna informativna prikaza, statistično značilno ne razlikuje. Kljub temu se kaže trend, da lahko infografike, ki združujejo slikovno in krajše besedilno gradivo, pripomorejo k boljšemu razumevanju predstavljene tematike. Rezultati kažejo tudi, da lahko uporaba infografike do določene mere vpliva na oblikovanje stališč učencev do vročinskih valov. Stališča učencev, ki so informacije prejeli v obliki infografike, so bila bolj pozitivna v primerjavi s stališči učencev, ki so informacije prejeli v obliki besedila. Poleg vrste informativnega prikaza sta na oblikovanje stališč učencev statistično značilno vplivala tudi njihova starost in spol. Ugotovili smo tudi, da se večina učencev po branju informativnega gradiva dobro zaveda zdravstvenih tveganj, povezanih z vročinskimi valovi, ki postajajo vse pogostejši in intenzivnejši. Z raziskavo smo tako ugotovili, da lahko učinkovita informativna gradiva pripomorejo k boljšemu razumevanju obravnavane tematike pri učencih. Hkrati pa lahko do določene mere vplivajo tudi na oblikovanje pozitivnejših stališč. Pri tem pa je nujno, da se kot pedagogi zavedamo, da morajo biti informativna gradiva učinkovito oblikovana, hkrati pa moramo učence naučiti tudi, kako se le-te učinkovito uporablja.

Izvleček

In this master’s thesis, we investigated how an informative presentation in the form of text, compared with an informative presentation in the form of an infographic, affects pupils’ attitudes towards and knowledge of heatwaves. The study was conducted among 78 sixth- and seventh-grade pupils from a primary school in the Posočje region. There were two classes at each grade level; one class received the information in textual form, while the other received it in the form of an infographic. The informative presentations were randomly assigned to the pupils, who subsequently completed a questionnaire consisting of two parts. The first part examined the pupils’ attitudes towards heatwaves, while the second part assessed their knowledge. The study employed a quantitative research approach combined with a qualitative approach and a quasi-experimental method of educational research. Based on the knowledge test included in the questionnaire, we found that there was no statistically significant difference in demonstrated knowledge between the two groups of pupils who received different types of informative presentations. Nevertheless, the results indicate a trend suggesting that infographics, which combine visual elements with concise textual information, may contribute to a better understanding of the presented topic. The results also show that the use of an infographic can, to a certain extent, influence the formation of pupils’ attitudes towards heatwaves. The attitudes of pupils who received the information in the form of an infographic were more positive compared with those of pupils who received the information in textual form. In addition to the type of informative presentation, pupils’ age and sex also had a statistically significant effect on the formation of their attitudes. We also found that, after reading the informational material, the majority of pupils were well aware of the health risks associated with heatwaves, which are becoming increasingly frequent and intense. The study therefore showed that effectively designed informational materials can contribute to pupils’ better understanding of the topic under consideration. At the same time, they can also contribute, to a certain extent, to the development of more positive attitudes. As educators, however, it is essential that we recognise the importance of designing informational materials effectively and, at the same time, teaching pupils how to use such materials effectively.
