Native heritage of the Croatian coastal region

Tema ovog diplomskog rada je Prirodna baština primorskih krajeva. Republika Hrvatska je kraj bogat prirodnom baštinom. Prirodnu baštinu obuhvaćaju nacionalni parkovi, parkovi prirode i strogi rezervati. Primorska Hrvatska obilježena je poglavito nacionalnim parkovima koji sadrže zaštićenu floru i faunu. U provedenom istraživanju, istraženo je koliko je prirodna baština zastupljena u udžbenicima od 1. do 4. razreda, istražen je kurikulum te su uspoređeni sadržaji u dva istražena udžbenika. Cilj istraživanja jest prikazati zastupljenost prirodne baštine u kurikulumu, utvrditi ključne riječi i teme o prirodnoj baštini primorske Hrvatske u udžbenicima nastavnog predmeta Priroda i društvo te povezati ishode i pojmove koji slijede prema opsegu i dubini od 1. do 4. razreda . Istraživanje je obuhvatilo udžbenike od 1. do 4. razreda, te je prikazana zastupljenost putem nastavnih tema i cjelina. Rezultati su pokazali da se kroz 1. i 2. razred, zapravo dolazi do pojma prirodne baštine, dok se u 3. i 4. razredu prirodna baština spominje kao takva. Prema istraživanju, učenik bi na kraju primarnog obrazovanja trebao imati znanje o reljefnim oblicima, geografskoj karti te o biljnom i životinjskom svijetu na području zavičaja, a poglavito svog. Očekuje se da je učenik savladao osnovne reljefne oblike i pojmove da spremno odlazi u u 5. razred osnovne škole.The topic of this thesis is the Natural Heritage of the Coastal Regions.
