Variability of aspects at workshop evaluation in biology education

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je istražiti različite aspekte vrednovanja radionica u nastavi biologije. Istraživanje je provedeno tijekom projekta “Dani otvorene nastave” (DON) u 18. gimnaziji u Zagrebu. Krovna tema DON-a bila je “brand” te su vezano uz to provedene i tri radionice na području predmeta biologija. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo četrnaest učenika i učenica od prvog do četvrtog razreda. Podaci su sakupljeni upitnicima koje su učenici ispunjavali nakon provedenih radionica. Kod obrade i analize upitnika korišteni su neparametrijski Hi kvadrat test za utvrđivanje povezanosti signifikantnosti i Spearman-ov rho kao indeks korelacije za utvrđivanje povezanosti varijabli. Rezultati su pokazali više prosječne ocjene vrednovanja u radionicama “Prehrana” i “Lijekovi” u odnosu na radionicu “Brand i logo”. Na temelju rezultata moguće je zaključiti da su učenici bolje vrednovali radionice u kojima se od njih tražio aktivan oblik suradnje.The goal of this study was to research different aspects of workshop evaluation in biology education. This reserch was part of project named „Days of teaching outdoor“ (DON) which have been held in 18. grammar high school in Zagreb. DON's topic was „brand“ and according to this three workshops were organised in which this research was conducted. Fourteen students from first to fourth grade have participated this research. Research was conducted by questionnaire forms that were given to students after each workshop. For questionnaire form analysis Chi-squared test was used for nominal (categorical) data and Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient for established variability connection. Results have indicated higher student’s grade for evaluation in workshop “Nutrition” and “Medicaments” than in workshop “Brand and logo”. Based on results we can say that student’s evaluate better those wokshops where they were active part of workshop
