EXPERIENTIAL ACQUISITION OF SCIENCE SKILLS IN THE AREA OF THE MUNICIPALITY LOVRENC NA POHORJU

Narava, ki nas obdaja, je neprecenljivo bogastvo, ki ga premalo cenimo. Stališča otrok do narave je zato potrebno oblikovati zgodaj, posledično je veliko vsebin v šoli namenjenih prav naravi. V diplomskem delu smo zbrali dejstva in prikazali predlog izvedbe izkustvenega učenja na učni poti. Teoretični del diplomske naloge sestavljajo tri večja poglavja. V prvem smo predstavili razvojne značilnosti otrok med 7. in 11. letom, osnovna dejstva izkustvenega učenja in terenskega dela. V drugem delu predstavljamo Občino Lovrenc na Pohorju, na katero je vezana izvedba empiričnega raziskovanja in praktičnega preizkušanja. Tretji del je namenjen učnim potem. Naš namen v empiričnem delu je bil ugotoviti otrokovo poznavanje živali, rastlin, kulturnih znamenitosti Lovrenca na Pohorju in gozdnih učnih poti ter stališča otrok do gozda in gozdnih učnih poti. Na podlagi ugotovitev teoretičnega in empiričnega dela smo v praktičnem delu oblikovali predlog učne poti v Lovrencu na Pohorju. Ustreznost predloga učne poti smo preizkusili z obiskom učencev četrtega razreda OŠ Lovrenc na Pohorju, obisk analizirali ter dodali smernice za nadaljnjo uporabo.Nature, which surrounds us, is invaluable wealth, which we lack. The views of children to nature are therefore necessary to establish early. Consequently many of the content in school is devoted to nature. In our diploma work, we collected the facts and showed the implementation of experimental learning on learning path. The theoretical part of Thesis consists of three major sections. In the first, we presented the developmental characteristics of children between 7 and 11 years, the basic facts experiential learning and field work. In the second part, we presented the municipality Lovrenc on Pohorje, which is linked to the implementation of empirical research and practical testing. The third part is devoted to learning paths. Our aim in the empirical part was to determine the child\u27s knowledge of wildlife, cultural heritage of Lovrenc on Pohorje, forest\u27s learning pathways and children\u27s views to the forest and forest learning paths. Based on the findings of theoretical and empirical work, we worked on a practical suggestion to create learning paths in Lovrenc on Pohorje. Pupils of the fourth grade of Primary school Lovrenc on Pohorje tried out the appropriateness of learning path. We analyzed and established guidelines for future use
