Preverjanje predstav učencev o morskih organizmih na podlagi anketnega vprašalnika in meritev reakcijskega časa

Smodiš, Maja (author), Tomažič, Iztok (mentor)

Različne raziskave kažejo, da imajo učenci izoblikovane napačne predstave o nekaterih bioloških vsebinah. Naš namen je bil preveriti predstave osnovnošolcev o morskih organizmih. Zanimala nas je razlika v predstavah med spoloma, med sedmošolci in devetošolci ter razlika med učenci, ki na dopustovanju na morju raziskujejo morske organizme, in tistimi, ki tega ne počnejo. Želeli smo preveriti, na katere lastnosti organizmov se učenci oprejo pri razvrščanju živih bitij v višje sistematske kategorije. Za raziskavo smo uporabili spletni anketni vprašalnik in metodo meritev reakcijskega časa. Želeli smo preveriti uporabnost povezave obeh metod za preverjanje predstav o naši temi. V delu raziskave, ki je merila reakcijski čas je sodelovalo 65 sedmošolcev in devetošolcev, pri anketnem vprašalniku pa se je pridružilo še 19 učencev istih razredov. S pomočjo rezultatov smo prišli do zaključkov, da razlik v poznavanju morskih organizmov med spoloma ni. Do zanemarljivih razlik je prišlo tudi pri primerjavi med razredi in med učenci, ki na dopustovanju na morju raziskujejo morske organizme ter tistimi, ki tega ne počnejo. Pri večini učencev smo opazili prisotnost nekaterih značilnih napačnih predstav na našo temo. Same meritve reakcijskega časa nam niso prikazale značilnih napačnih predstav, kot so bile te opažene pri anketnem vprašalniku. Ob primerjavi razvrščenih morskih organizmov med rastline ali živali v obeh metodah pa smo potrdili, da sta obe metodi pokazali prisotnost istih predstav o morskih organizmih.

• Title: Examination of the pupils conceptions about marine organisms based on the survey and the measurement of the reaction time

Abstract

Different studies show pupils misconceptions about some of the biological subjects. Our objective was to examine pupil’s conceptions about marine organisms. We were interested in the difference about conceptions based on sex, on 7th and 9th graders and on the difference between pupils who explore marine organisms on their vacations and those who don’t. We wanted to test which organisms’ characteristics help pupils classify living beings into higher systematic classification. For our study we used an online survey and the method of the measurement of the reaction time. We wanted to check the usefulness of relation between both methods for the examination of conceptions about our topic. In the part of the study in which the reaction time was measured, participated 65 7th and 9th graders, and in the survey 19 more pupils of the same grades joined. With the help of the results we concluded, that differences in the knowledge about marine organisms, based on sex, don’t exist. The differences were also negligible in the comparison between different grades and between pupils that do and those who don’t explore marine organisms while on vacation. In the majority of pupils we noticed the presence of some of typical misconceptions about our topic. However, the measurement of the reaction time didn’t show us those same results that online survey did. By comparison of classification marine organisms among plants or animals in both methods we claimed, that both methods had showed presence of the same conceptions about marine organisms.
