RAISING AWARENESS AMONG STUDENTS ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGES BY MEANS OF METHODOLOGICAL STRATEGIES IN THE FIRST TRIAD

V praktičnem diplomskem delu z naslovom Ozaveščanje učencev o spremembah v okolju s pomočjo sodobnih didaktičnih strategij v prvem triletju je teoretični del razdeljen na okoljski in pedagoško-didaktični vidik. V okoljskem vidiku so predstavljene splošne okoljske spremembe in težave v ravnanju z okoljem v današnjem času ter okoljska vzgoja kot pomemben dejavnik vzgoje za dolgoročno prihodnost. Pedagoško-didaktični vidik predstavlja sodobne didaktične strategije pouka in didaktične pristope za pouk okoljske vzgoje ter opredelitev predmeta spoznavanje okolja z vidika okoljske vzgoje. Empirična raziskava nam prikaže, kako učiteljice uresničujejo cilj, pri katerem učenci spoznavajo, da so spremembe v okolju za živali ali rastline včasih ugodne, včasih pa škodljive, in katere didaktične strategije uporabljajo. Rezultati so pokazali, da nekatere učiteljice cilj obravnavajo površinsko, da pa v proces poučevanja vnašajo elemente odprtega pouka. V praktičnem delu je priložena priprava na učno uro, ki sem jo z elementi izkustvenega in problemskega pouka izvedla tako, da so učenci izbrani cilj iz raziskave usvojili z neposrednim opazovanjem narave in človekovega vpliva nanjo ter da so s praktičnimi dejavnostmi samostojno prišli do novih spoznanj.In the practical part of this diploma paper with the title Raising awareness among students about the environmental changes by means of methodological strategies in the first triad the theoretical part is divided into the environmental and pedagogical-didactical point of view. The theoretical viewpoint represents the general environmental changes and some difficulties when dealing with the environment in today\u27s world and environmental education as an important factor of education for the future. The pedagogical-didactical viewpoint, on the other hand, represents contemporary didactical strategies and methods for teaching environmental education and the definition of the subject environmental recognition from the point of view of the environmental education. The empirical research shows how teachers achieve the aim of raising students\u27 awareness about the fact that the environmental changes sometimes have positive and sometimes negative influence on flora and fauna, and which didactical strategies they use. The results have shown that some teachers take this aim into consideration very superficially, but they are open in the process of teaching. There is a lesson plan enclosed in the practical part. I carried out this lesson in the way that students could achieve the aim of the lesson with direct observation of nature and human effect on it and they also came to new conclusions independently through some practical activities
