Zanimanje učencev za fizikalne teme izven šolskih okvirov

Pršin, Aleš (author), Pavlin, Jerneja (mentor)

Fizika v slovenskih osnovnih šola velja za nepriljubljen predmet. Iz literature je razvidno, da se učencem zdi nezanimiva in neuporabna. Menijo, da na priljubljenost fizike močno vpliva izbira učne snovi. Želijo si, da bi se pri rednem pouku fizike učili tudi o sodobnih fizikalnih spoznanjih. Z vidika vseživljenjskega učenja in aktualnosti je vpeljava tem o sodobnih fizikalnih spoznanjih v pouk fizike smiselna. Z našo raziskavo smo želeli natančneje raziskati tematiko in ugotoviti: (1) katere fizikalne teme, ki jih učenci ne srečujejo pri pouku fizike, se jim zdijo zanimive, (2) ali si želijo implementacije izbirnih vsebin v pouk fizike, (3) ali si želijo obiskovati izbirni predmet na temo sodobnih fizikalnih spoznanj, (4) ali so razlike v učnih temah, ki zanimajo dečke in deklice, (5) ali nivo interesa za naravoslovje vpliva na izbiro tem, ki se učencem zdijo zanimive in (6) kakšni so odzivi učencev na izvedene učne ure na temo radioaktivnosti z vidika interesa in napredka v znanju fizike. Za namene raziskave smo oblikovali in izvedli dve učni uri na temo radioaktivnosti, oblikovali dva anketna vprašalnika in preverjanje znanja. V raziskavi je sodelovalo 136 učencev 8. in 9. razreda slovenske mestne šole, pri izvedbi učnih uri in pri reševanju preverjanja znanja pa je sodelovalo skupaj 16 učencev. Pridobljene podatke smo statistično analizirali in zbrali v obliki tabel. Učenci so izmed sedmih vsebin na temo sodobnih fizikalnih pojavov kot najbolj zanimivo izbrali radioaktivnost. Večina učencev si želi implementacije sodobnih fizikalnih vsebin v pouk fizike, medtem ko bi vsak tretji izbral izbirni predmet na temo sodobnih fizikalnih spoznanj. Ugotovili smo, da so statistično značilne razlike v temah, ki bolj zanimajo učence kot učenke, razlike pa so tudi v temah, ki zanimajo učence z različno ravnjo interesa za naravoslovje. Učni uri na temo radioaktivnosti sta bili učencem všeč, pozitivno sta vplivali na njihovo znanje in interes za pouku fizike.

• Title: Pupils' interest in topics of physics outside of school frames

Abstract

Physics in Slovenian primary schools is considered an unpopular subject. Pupils find it uninteresting and useless. They believe that the popularity of physics is strongly influenced by the choice of topic, covered in class. They wish to learn about modern physics findings in regular physics classes. In the prospect of lifelong learning and actuality implementing modern physics findings in physics lessons makes sense. The goal of our research was to (1) find out, which topics that are not mentioned at lessons concerning physics pupils find interesting, (2) do pupils wish to learn about modern physics findings, (3) would they like to learn about modern physics findings as a part of optional subject, (4) do gender or (5) interest in natural science influences the choice of topics, which pupils find interesting and (6) what are pupils' responses on school lessons about radioactivity regarding interest and new knowledge about physics. In order to carry out our research we have designed and implemented two lessons, developed two questionnaires and a test of knowledge. 136 pupils of 8th and 9th grade pupils of a particular primary school in Slovenia took part in our survey. 16 of them participated in knowledge testing. Gathered data was statistically analyzed. Out of seven proposed topics, covering various modern physics findings radioactivity was found the most interesting. Most pupils wish to learn about modern physics findings, whereas one of three wish to partake in an optional subject regarding modern physics findings. There are differences in which topics female or male pupils find interesting. In addition, there are differences in how interesting pupils with different level of interest in natural science find topics regarding modern physics findings. Pupils found school lessons on radioactivity interesting. They made physics more interesting and improved pupils' interest in physics.
