Papuk Nature Park as a destination for children's in/about the nature

U radu je dat kratak prikaz PP Papuk kao odredišta za učenje djece o/u prirodi. Anketni upitnik kojim se testirala povezanost djece s prirodom ispunilo je 76 učenika od prvog do četvrtog razreda osnovne škole u Virovitici. Rezultati anketnog upitnika su pokazali da su djeca izrazito biofilijski nastrojena, tj. da su dionici prirode, bitan čimbenik, ali ne i gospodari prirode. Rezultati ankete donose stavove djece u kojima iskazuju kako smatraju da učitelji dovoljno stavljaju naglasak na zaštitu prirode, dok u isto vrijeme s roditeljima nedovoljno pričaju o zaštiti iste. Očito zakazuje obitelj i na tom se treba poraditi. Priroda je opuštajuća, u njoj djeca nalaze mir i stoga bi djeca trebala u prirodi provoditi što više vremena. Toga su djeca svjesna, ali na žalost ne i odrasli. Potvrda naprijed prikazanog i rečenog ima svoj smisao i potvrdu u sve četiri postavljene hipoteze.The paper gives a brief overview of Nature park Papuk as a destination for learning in or about nature.
