Zanimanje učencev Kamnika za uporabne rastline, njihova samopodoba in stališča do drog

Pančur, Urška (author), Strgar, Jelka (mentor)

Namen raziskovalnega dela je bil ugotoviti, ali je zanimanje za pet skupin uporabnih rastlin povezano z učenčevo samopodobo in stališči učenca do kajenja, uživanja alkohola in drog. Ugotavljali smo tudi, ali na to vplivata učenčeva starost in spol. Podatke smo zbrali z anketnim vprašalnikom. Sodelovalo je 286 učencev 7., 8. in 9. razreda. Raziskavo smo izvedli na treh osnovnih šolah, katerih učenci se med seboj razlikujejo predvsem po mestnem ali podeželskem načinu življenja. Učence najbolj zanimajo rastline, ki pomagajo pri celjenju ran, rastline, iz katerih pripravimo zdravilne čaje, in rastline, ki pomagajo proti vnetjem. Nega sobnih rastlin in rastline na okenskih policah pa učence zanimajo povprečno. Najmanj zanimanja je za rastline, iz katerih pridobivamo opij in heroin iz maka. Začimbne in zdravilne rastline so najbolj zanimale sedmošolce, manj osmošolce in najmanj devetošolce. Okrasne rastline in ekološka pridelava hrane so prav tako najbolj zanimali sedmošolce, manj osmošolce in najmanj devetošolce. Rastline za droge pa so sedmošolce zanimale bistveno manj, kot osmošolce in devetošolce. Dekleta so pokazala manjše zanimanje za okrasne rastline in ekološko pridelavo hrane kot fantje. Ugotovili smo, da je zanimanje za posamezne skupine uporabnih rastlin povezano z učenčevo samopodobo. Mladi s pozitivno samopodobo se namreč bolj zanimajo za začimbne in zdravilne rastline, prav tako se mladi z negativno samopodobo bolj zanimajo za začimbne in zdravilne rastline, kot tudi za okrasne rastline in ekološko pridelavo hrane. Ugotovili smo, da imajo anketirani učenci dobro samopodobo. Najvišjo oceno je dobila trditev »Zdi se mi, da sem kot človek vsaj tako dober kot drugi.«. Zelo visoko ocenjene so tudi trditve »Zdi se mi, da sem lahko ponosen na veliko stvari.«, »Na splošno sem zadovoljen s seboj.« in »Stvari lahko naredim prav tako dobro kot večina ljudi.«. Ugotovili smo, da imajo učenci šole 1 in 2 višjo oceno samopodobe, kot učenci šole 3, in da imajo sedmošolci in osmošolci višjo oceno samopodobe, kot devetošolci. Dekleta imajo višjo pozitivno samopodobo in nižjo negativno samopodobo kot fantje. O odnosu učencev do drog smo ugotovili, da je večji del učencev proti, da ljudje občasno kadijo marihuano in večji del učencev ni proti, da ljudje popijejo eno ali dve alkoholni pijači večkrat na teden. Kar polovica učencev je zelo proti, da ljudje pokadijo 10 ali več cigaret dnevno. Učenci večinoma menijo, da mladi uživajo droge zato, ker to počnejo ljudje, s katerimi se družijo. Približno polovica učencev se ne strinja, da bi kajenje marihuane moralo biti dovoljeno, in več kot polovici učencev se zdijo ljudje, ki so zasvojeni z drogami, bolj bolniki kot kriminalci. Ugotovili smo, da je zanimanje za posamezne skupine uporabnih rastlin deloma povezano z učenčevimi stališči do kajenja, uživanja alkohola in drog. Namreč pri učencih, ki so že pokadili celo cigareto, ki so že občutili pijanost in tistih, ki se strinjajo s trditvijo, da bi kajenje konoplje/marihuane moralo biti dovoljeno, ter niso proti, da ljudje občasno kadijo konopljo/marihuano, smo našli pozitivno korelacijo z zanimanjem za rastline za droge. Naša raziskava je lahko v pomoč učiteljem in vsem strokovnim delavcem v šolstvu pri oblikovanju učnega procesa. Učitelji lahko prilagodijo učne vsebine zanimanju učencev in ob tem tudi ozaveščajo mladostnike o varni uporabi rastlin in morebitnih nevarnostih, povezanih z njimi.

• Title: Interest of pupils in Kamnik for useful plants, their self-esteem and attitude toward drugs

Abstract

The purpose of this research has been to establish if interests in five groups of useful plants is related to pupils’ self-esteem. It has also been researched if pupil's age and gender have an impact. The figures have been collected with a survey. 286 pupils from the 7th, 8th and 9th grade have participated. The research has been carried out in primary schools, where pupils differ according to urban or rural lifestyle. Pupils are mostly interested into plants which help healing wounds, plants which can be used for herbal tea and plants which prevent inflammation. Pupils' interests into indoor plants or plants which are used for decoration on window panels is quite average. Pupils are the least interested into plants used for extracting opium and heroin from a poppy. Seasoning and medicinal plants are the most interesting to seventh-graders, a bit less to eighth-graders and the least to ninth-graders. Decorative plants and organic food production are of highest interest for seventh-graders, less for eighth-graders and the least for ninth-graders. Plants used for drugs, however, are less interesting for seventh-graders than eighth and ninth-graders. Girls are not as interested into decorative plants and organic food production as boys. It has been established that pupils’ self-esteem is strongly related to their interests into individual groups of useful plants. The young who have positive self-esteem are interested into seasoning and medicinal plants as well as decorative plants and organic food production. It has also been established that the surveyed pupils’ self-esteem is high. The statement “I think I am as good as other people.” has been highly rated. Other statements such as “I think I can be proud on many things.”, “Generally, I am satisfied with myself.” And “I can do things just as good as the majority of people.” It has also been established that pupils from school 1 and 2 have higher grade of self-esteem as pupils from school 3. Moreover, seventh-graders and eighth-graders also have higher grade of self-esteem as ninth-graders. Generally, girls’ self-esteem is more positive than boys. Pupils’ attitude towards drugs has also been researched and it has been established that most pupils are generally against smoking marijuana. However, they are not against people drinking one or two alcoholic drinks more times a week. Half of pupils are strongly against smoking ten or more cigarettes a day. Pupils believe that the young do drugs because people they hang out with do drugs. On the one hand, about half of the pupils agree that marijuana should be legalised. On the other hand, more than half of them believe that people addicted to drugs are only ill, not criminals. It has been established that interests into individual groups of useful plants are partially related to pupils’ views on smoking, drinking alcohol and doing drugs. Positive correlation to interests into plants and drugs has been determined with pupils who have experienced smoking cigarettes, being drunk and pupils who agree with the statement that cannabis/marijuana should be legalised and who are not against smoking cannabis/marijuana. This research can help teachers and all professional workers in educational system forming education process. Teachers can adjust curricula to pupils’ interests and raise awareness among the young about safe usage of plants and possible dangers related to it.
