Abstract

Namen diplomske naloge je predstaviti, kako je učenje o znanosti lahko otrokom zanimivo. Otroci so po naravi radovedni in astronomija jim ponuja zanimive novosti. Zanimalo nas je, koliko otroci poznajo planete, Sonce in Luno ter kako se njihovo mišljenje spreminja skozi proces učenja. V raziskavo je bilo vključenih 17 otrok iz vrtca Borisa Pečeta. Otrokom smo zastavili vprašanja in nekaj risalnih nalog. V začetku nas je zanimalo, kakšne so predstave otrok o Zemlji, Luni in Soncu. Ugotovili smo, da otroci poznajo Luno in Sonce, saj radi opazujejo nebo, vendar o njiju nimajo veliko podatkov. O Zemlji imajo otroci malo predstave in ne poznajo njenih lastnosti, saj je ne morejo opazovati kot Luno in Sonce. Kasneje smo preko iger, aktivnosti in zanimivih dejstev otroke podučili o osnovah astronomije. Na koncu smo ponovno preverili njihovo znanje. Zanimalo nas je, v kolikšni meri se bodo odgovori spremenili glede na pridobljeno znanje. Glede na rezultate smo ugotovili, da so otroci pridobili novo znanje oz. so nadgradili predhodnega. Prav tako je razvidno, da se otroci zavedajo osnovnih konceptov astronomije in si znajo razlagati nekatere astronomske dogodke. Rezultati kažejo, da je predstavo otrok o Zemlji, Soncu in Luni mogoče izboljšati s primernimi dodatnimi aktivnostmi, s čimer lahko predlogi iz diplomskega dela pripomorejo k izboljšanju načrtovanja dela vzgojiteljev v vrtcu.

Secondary title: PRESCHOOL CHILD'S PERCEPTIONS OF THE EARTH, MOON AND SUN AS CELESTIAL BODIES
Secondary abstract: The purpose of our thesis is to demonstrate that children could find learning about science interesting. A child is naturally curious and astronomy provides interesting novelties. We wanted to find out the extent of their knowledge about planets, the Sun and the Moon and their cognitive development throughout the learning process and have included 17 children from Boris Peče kindergarten in our research. First off we wanted to know how children perceive the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. Findings have shown, that the children know about the Moon and the Sun from observing the sky, but lack any data beyond that. The Earth is a different matter. Because they are not able to observe it like the Moon and the Sun, they have a hard time picturing it or attributing it any properties. At a later point we have introduced the basics of astronomy through games, activities and interesting facts. The purpose was to compare the previous answers with the new ones. Research has show that children either gained new knowledge or upgraded the previous one. It was apparent, that the children were aware of the basic principles of astronomy and were able to explain some of the astronomical events. Results show that childrens knowledge about the Earth, Sun and Moon can be upgraded with proper activities. In this thesis we can find the suggestions on how to improve teaching process in kindergarten.
