Izkustveno učenje otrok v naravnem okolju - učna pot: Rifnik z okolico

Kolar, Ajda (author), Kerec, Darja (mentor)

V magistrskem delu smo raziskali, v kolikšni meri lahko s tematsko e-učno potjo učencem petega razreda osnovne šole približamo spoznavanje življenja ljudi v preteklosti na zgodovinsko pomembni vzpetini Rifnik, geografske značilnosti Rifnika ter značilnosti in pomen arheološkega najdišča Rifnik in domačega kraja. Zanimalo nas je še, kako interaktivno delo vpliva na počutje petošolcev. Glavno vprašanje magistrskega dela je, kako šentjurskim petošolcem približati zgodovinska in geografska znanja o Rifniku in okolici. Predpostavljali smo, da se osnovnošolci ne zavedajo zgodovinske pomembnosti Rifnika. V ta namen smo vsebinsko in didaktično zasnovali učno in e-učno pot, ki sta prvi na tem območju in pomenita velik prispevek k spoznavanju življenja ljudi v preteklosti v lokalnem okolju. Magistrsko delo sestavljajo tri zaokrožene celote, ki se med seboj dopolnjujejo in nadgrajujejo v teoretičnem, praktičnem in empiričnem delu. V teoretičnem delu smo podrobneje predstavili zgodovinsko pomembnost Rifnika in muzej na prostem Rifnik ter njegovo funkcijo. Prav tako smo predstavili izkustveno učenje, natančneje metodo terenskega dela in učenje, podprto z informacijsko-komunikacijsko tehnologijo. V praktičnem delu, ki smo ga izvedli v petem razredu osnovne šole, smo snovno zasnovali krožno učno in e-učno pot na Rifniku, ki izhajata iz teoretičnih spoznanj. Dodali smo snovno in didaktično učno pripravo za terensko delo z brošuro z nalogami za učence, ki jo učenci uporabljajo na terenu, ter predstavili e-učno pot, ki je dostopna na spletišču Raziskovanje Rifnika; ta zajema šest izobraževalnih videov z vključenimi interaktivnimi nalogami za učence. V empiričnem delu smo predstavili rezultate predpreizkusa znanja, ki so ga učenci rešili pred interaktivnim spoznavanju Rifnika z okolico in popreizkusa znanja, ki so ga učenci rešili po interaktivnem spoznavanju Rifnika z okolico.

• Title: Children's experiential learning through nature - educational nature path: Rifnik and its surroundings

Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to research how an educational nature path on the historically-important Rifnik hill affects fifth-graders’ learning about the life of people in the past, the hill’s geographical characteristics, as well as the characteristics and meaning of the archaeological Rifnik hill site and its surroundings. Additionally, we will analyse how this type of interactive fieldwork affects the children’s physical and psychological well-being. The main question of this thesis is how to encourage children from Šentjur to learn about the geographical and historical features of Rifnik and its surroundings. We suppose that primary school pupils do not realize the importance of the Rifnik hill. This is why we decided to construct educational e-learning content and an educational nature path, the first in this area, which will contribute greatly to the process of learning about the local life of the people in the past. The thesis consists of three integral wholes, complementing and upgrading one another in the theoretical, practical and empirical parts. The theoretical part acknowledges in detail the historical significance of the Rifnik hill, as well as the open-air museum Rifnik and its function. Another aspect we present is the experiential learning through the method of fieldwork and learning with the use of information technology. The practical part was performed with the help of pupils from the 5th grade of the Primary School Hruševec Šentjur. A circular educational and electronic nature path on Rifnik was designed based on theoretical knowledge. Content was prepared for the didactic lesson plan for the teachers before the fieldwork, containing a brochure with instructions and exercises for the pupils to work on in the course of the educational nature path. An electronic educational path was presented, available on the e-learning platform Raziskovanje Rifnika, which includes six educational videos with integrated interactive tasks for the pupils. In the empirical part we present the results of a mock exam test, completed a couple of days before the interactive learning about Rifnik and its surroundings, and the results of a test completed after the interactive learning about Rifnik and its surroundings.
