Abstract

Evolucija je znanstveno področje biologije, ki je zelo zanimivo in hkrati tudi zelo zahtevno. Ravno zaradi tega je veliko učencev in tudi učiteljev ne razume dobro. Poučevanje in učenje vsebin, povezanih z evolucijo, zato predstavlja velik izziv tako za učence, kot tudi za učitelje. Z veliko raziskavami so želeli ugotoviti, koliko znanja imajo osnovnošolci in srednješolci o evoluciji človeka. Pri tem so ugotovili, da je velikokrat znanje zelo pomanjkljivo. Z našo raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, koliko znanja o evoluciji človeka imajo dijaki gimnazije v Sloveniji ob koncu tretjega letnika. Osredotočili smo se predvsem na količino znanja, prisotnost napačnih predstav in razliko v znanju med dijaki in dijakinjami. V raziskavo smo vključili 219 dijakov 3. letnika gimnazije v Sloveniji. Ugotovili smo, da je znanje dijakov in dijakinj zadovoljivo, nekoliko več znanja imajo dijaki. Našli smo tudi nekatere napačne predstave. Največ napačnih predstav je bilo povezanih z razvojem sodobnega človeka in njegovim sorodstvom z neandertalcem. Nekaj jih je bilo povezanih tudi s časovno in prostorsko umestitvijo življenja sodobnega človeka in neandertalca, nekaj pa tudi z vero. Dijaki v naši raziskavi so preverjanje znanja opravili na spletu, medtem ko so vse podobne predhodne raziskave temeljile na neposrednem reševanju v razredu. Ugotovili smo, da so dijaki dosegli boljše rezultate, kot v predhodnih raziskavah, kar je verjetno posledica dejstva, da so si pri reševanju lahko pomagali z različnimi viri.

Secondary title: Knowledge of human evolution of third year gimnazija students in Slovenia
Secondary abstract: Evolution is a scientific area of biology. It is very interesting, but also complex, which is why many students and sometimes teachers struggle to understand it. Teaching about evolution is a difficult task, as is learning about it. Many researchers tried to determine the level of insight into human evolution among primary and secondary school students. What they discovered was a severe lack of understanding. The aim of this master thesis was to establish the familiarity with the subject among third year secondary school students in Slovenia. The focus was on the amount of information, the presence of misconceptions and the difference in knowledge between male and female students. Two hundred and nineteen students were included in the study. They had all finished the third year of secondary school. The conclusion was that their understanding of evolution was satisfactory, if slightly better among male students. The misconceptions were mostly related to the development of modern man in connection to the Neanderthal. Some of the misconceptions were related to the misunderstanding of the time and place modern man and the Neanderthal belonged to, some also to religion. We were also interested to see if the students in our research would do better than those in previously conducted studies. The students filled out an online questionnaire, while previous studies were carried out in the classroom. The students doing the online questionnaire achieved better results than the primary and secondary school students from previous studies.
