20.500.12556/RUL-167280 The impact of online education on students’ knowledge of human evolution In the 2020/21 school year, education changed overnight due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to explore the impact of the lockdown on students’ knowledge of evolution. Two student groups were compared; both covered the same subject matter, and only the implementation differed: either online or in class. The sample consisted of 476 participants, 15 to 16 years old. Data were collected with a questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale. Contrary to expectations, there were no significant differences in knowledge between the online and in-class groups. The reasons for this remain unclear. The impact of some contextual factors was also tested. There were no significant differences in students’ performance concerning maternal education, and only two concerning paternal education. Males scored better than females. Knowledge of human evolution did not correlate with religiosity. However, it did correlate with acceptance of evolution and attitudes toward biology. The online educated group and the in-school educated group differed significantly in most correlations between contextual factors. Further studies should be carried out on students that experienced the lockdown to better understand its consequences, especially if these are long lasting. attitudes toward biology Covid-19 pandemic evolution acceptance parents’ education students’ gender students’ religiosity COVID-19 pandemija izobraževanje na daljavo evolucija znanje odnos do biologije biologija vzgoja in izobraževanje true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-02-13 08:11:51 2025-02-13 08:11:52 2025-02-14 03:55:30 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1266-1277 no. 4 Vol. 23 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 373.5:57 2538-7138 10.33225/jbse/24.23.1266 225935107 RAZ_Strgar_Jelka_2024.pdf RAZ_Strgar_Jelka_2024.pdf 1 2EC55DDD6CB305CF5BAAEDB3F6EE2232 775b3b94c23251277c04f67dde74bc96d4b6b4418ad6fbde949f38be1774b865 81a202bf-e9d9-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199614 https://www.ceeol.com/search/article-detail?id=1292129 1 eae2c931-e9d8-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=199613 Pedagoška fakulteta 0 0 0
