Jahalne šole in konjeniški centri kot neformalna učna okolja za poučevanje bioloških vsebin

Aktivnosti in terapije s pomočjo konjev postajajo v svetu vse bolj prepoznavno področje ter vse bolj priznana metoda v okviru medicinske in psihosocialne rehabilitacije ter tudi v pedagoškem procesu. Konji so za večino učencev zanimive živali in se jih večinoma ne bojijo. Zato bi lahko jahalne šole in konjeniški centri predstavljali neformalna učna okolja, v katerih bi se učenci učili o živalih. V magistrski nalogi nas je zanimalo, ali bi lahko v neformalnih učnih okoljih, kot so jahalne šole in konjeniški centri, načrtovali dejavnosti, pri katerih bi učenci pridobivali biološka znanja, ki so vezana na veljavne učne načrte v osnovnih in srednjih šolah. Zanimalo nas je tudi, ali bi bili inštruktorji jahanja pripravljeni izvajati naravoslovne dni za učence osnovnih in srednjih šol in če so se pripravljeni za izvedbo naravoslovnih dni dodatno usposabljati. V ta namen smo pripravili polstrukturirani intervju in intervjuvali inštruktorje jahanja iz različnih slovenskih regij. Ugotovili smo, da obstajajo možnosti za izvedbo naravoslovnih dni za učence osnovnih in srednjih šol. Inštruktorje jahanja večinoma zanima dodatno izobraževanje, saj jih večina ne pozna šolskih učnih načrtov.

• Title: Riding schools and equestrian centers as informal learning environments for teaching biological content

Abstract

Horse-assisted activities and therapy are becoming more and more recognized in the world and a recognized method in medical and psychosocial rehabilitation as well as in the pedagogical process. Horses are interesting animals to most students, and most are not afraid of them. Therefore, riding schools and equestrian centers could represent informal learning environments in which students would learn about animals. In the Master's thesis we were interested in whether in non-formal learning environments, such as riding schools and equestrian centers, activities could be planned in which students would acquire biological knowledge related to current curricula in primary and secondary schools. We were also interested in whether riding instructors would be willing to provide science days for elementary and high school students, and if they were prepared to take science days for additional training. For this purpose, we prepared a semi-structured interview and interviewed riding instructors from different Slovenian regions. We have found that there are opportunities to conduct science days for primary and secondary school students. Riding instructors are mostly interested in additional education since most of them are not familiar with school curricula.
