Secondary title:	Žerjavinski potok – biology and nature science classroom in the field for children
Secondary abstract:	Slovenia is a country known for its exceptionally preserved biodiversity and high percentage of land protected through the Natura 2000 network. This network protects areas in which animal and plant species wish to be preserved and also habitat types, which are rarely found in Europe or already endangered. One of such areas is Žerjavinski potok (the Žerjavin Stream). I have thoroughly examined and explored the area, conducted a flora and fauna inventory and, based on the learning topics covered by the biology and nature science curriculum in primary schools, determined learning objects. The survey I have conducted in primary schools has shown that pupils wish for more lessons in nature, as there is not enough of such lessons in primary schools. The survey has shown lack of knowledge and pupils’ misconceptions about learning topics covered by the learning objects of the Žerjavin Stream. The Natura 2000 Žerjavin Stream area is suitable for teaching biology and nature science classes in elementary school, as well as developing nature protection responsibility in pupils. In the respective area different habitat types intertwine, potentially suitable for active, experiential teaching in nature, learning objects covering a big share of learning sets and curriculum topics being found within. The area is potentially suitable to become a biology and nature science classroom in the field for elementary schools. For this purpose I have developed a simple teacher’s manual, which would serve as a guide to the educational pathways of the Natura 2000 Žerjavin Stream area. The pupils could therewith gain the possibility of integrated lessons in nature and could get acquainted with environmental issues at an early age, in consequence gaining better understanding of importance of preserving living environments (habitats) with the intention to preserve species.

Abstract (ePrints):	Slovenija ima sloves države z izjemno ohranjeno biodiverziteto in visokim deležem ozemlja, zaščitenega z omrežjem Natura 2000. To omrežje varuje območja, na katerih želimo ohraniti živalske in rastlinske vrste ter habitatne tipe, ki so v Evropi redki ali pa že ogroženi. Eno izmed takšnih je tudi Žerjavinski potok. Območje sem temeljito pregledal in raziskal, na njem opravil popis živalstva in rastlinstva, ter na podlagi učnih tem, ki jih zajema učni načrt biologije in naravoslovja v osnovni šoli, določil učne objekte. Anketa, ki sem jo izvedel v osnovnih šolah je razkrila, da si učenci želijo več pouka v naravi, saj je takšnega pouka premalo. Anketa je pokazala pomanjkljivo znanje in napačne predstave učencev o učnih temah, ki jih zajemajo učni objekti Žerjavinskega potoka. Območje Nature 2000 Žerjavinski potok je primerno za poučevanje predmetov biologije in naravoslovja v osnovnih šolah, kakor tudi za razvijanje odgovornosti do varstva narave pri osnovnošolcih. Na obravnavanem območju se prepletajo različni habitatni tipi, primerni za aktivni, izkustveni pouk v naravi, saj tam najdemo učne objekte, ki pokrivajo velik delež učnih sklopov in tem učnega načrta. Območje je potencialno primerno, da postane učilnica v naravi za biologijo in naravoslovje v osnovnih šolah. V ta namen sem izdelal preprost priročnik za učitelje, ki služi kot vodič po izobraževalnih poteh območja Nature 2000 Žerjavinski potok. Učenci bi tako dobili možnost za celostni pouk v naravi in se že zgodaj srečali z naravovarstveno tematiko ter tako lažje doumeli pomen ohranjanja življenjskih okolij (habitatov), zato da ohranimo vrste.
