Sončno kuhališče kot učni pripomoček pri pouku fizike : magistrsko delo

Gerjolj, Alenka (author), Susman, Katarina (mentor)

V zadnjih letih so v ospredju pogovori o podnebnih spremembah, ogljičnem odtisu in o smotrni rabi energije. Svet se vedno bolj obrača k raziskovanju in izkoriščanju obnovljivih virov energije, kot so energija sonca, vode in vetra. Na področju poučevanja fizike zasledimo številne vire in izsledke raziskav, ki kažejo, da imajo tudi učenci 9. razredov napačne predstave o fizikalnih pojmih na teme svetloba, energija, toplota in temperatura. Pri pouku moramo biti tako še posebej pozorni, da učence postavimo v spodbudno učno okolje, v katerem lahko razmišljajo o fizikalnih pojmih ter jih povezujejo in razložijo na vsakdanjih življenjskih primerih. S tem učenci poleg usvajanja znanja razvijajo še ustvarjalnost, spretnosti in odkrivajo pristope za uspešno reševanje projektov in problemskih nalog. V okviru magistrskega dela sem tako oblikovala učna gradiva o paraboličnih sončnih kuhališčih, ki povezujejo fizikalne teme svetloba, energija, temperatura in toplota. Pri tem sem izdelala in analizirala nekaj primerov sončnih kuhališč in izbrala tiste, ki so primerni za izvedbo aktivnosti pri pouku. Učenci so nato izbrana kuhališča uporabljali pri eksperimentalnem delu pouka fizike. V skupini 14 učencev 9. in 8. razreda izbrane osnovne šole sem izvedla pedagoško raziskavo. Skušala sem ugotoviti, kako dobro učenci povezujejo in uporabljajo svoje znanje fizike v novi življenjski situaciji. Ugotavljala sem, kakšen je napredek v znanju učencev po izvedeni dejavnosti, kako učenci vrednotijo izvedeno dejavnost, kako ocenjujejo pridobljeno znanje in veščine ob izvajanju dejavnosti s paraboličnim sončnim kuhališčem. Učenci so prek dejavnosti s sončnimi kuhališči dobro povezovali svoje znanje in pokazali veliko iznajdljivosti v novi življenjski situaciji. Preko dejavnosti so vsi učenci pokazali napredek v znanju in bili z izvedeno dejavnostjo zelo zadovoljni ter poudarili, da bi si želeli še več takega načina pouka fizike.

• Title: Solar Cooker as a Teaching Aid in Physics Lessons

Abstract

In recent years, the issues of climate change, carbon footprint and efficient energy use have come to the fore. The world is increasingly turning to the exploration and use of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy as well as the energy of water and wind. In the field of physics education, numerous sources and research results can be found that show that even 9th- graders have misconceptions about physical concepts related to light, energy, heat and temperature. Therefore, during our lessons a close attention should be paid to provide students with a stimulating learning environment where they can think about physical concepts and relate and explain them to everyday situations. In this way, students not only acquire knowledge, but at the same time develop their creativity, skills and discover approaches to solve projects and problem tasks more efficiently and successfully. As part of my Master's thesis, I designed various teaching materials on the topic of parabolic solar cookers. They combine the physical topics of light, energy, temperature and heat. Several examples of solar cookers were made and analysed and those that proved suitable for use in the classroom were selected. The students used the selected cookers as part of their experimental work in physics lessons. A pedagogical research was conducted with a group of ten 9th- graders from a selected primary school. I tried to find out how well the students connect and applied their knowledge of physics in a new life situation. After the activity, the progress of the students' knowledge was closely monitored and the students' evaluation of the activity was followed. I also investigated how they evaluate their newly acquired knowledge and skills when performing the activity with a parabolic solar cooker. Through activities with solar cookers, the students combined their knowledge well and showed a great deal of ingenuity in a new life situation. Through the activities, all the students showed progress in their knowledge and were very satisfied with the activity carried out and told that they would like to see more of this way of teaching.
