FEATURES OF GORIČKO LANDSCAPE PARK IN THE CONTEXT OF ELEMENTARY-LEVEL TEACHING

Diplomsko delo z naslovom Vrednote Krajinskega parka Goričko v kontekstu pouka na razredni stopnji je sestavljeno iz treh delov. V teoretičnem delu so povzete glavne geografsko-zgodovinske in naravoslovne značilnosti Krajinskega parka Goričko. Predstavljeni so tudi cilji predmetov Spoznavanje okolja, Naravoslovje in tehnika ter Družba, ki se lahko realizirajo v Krajinskem parku Goričko. Nekaj besed je namenjenih še značilnostim pouka v naravi in stopnjam poučevanja na prostem. V empiričnem delu diplomske naloge smo ugotavljali zadovoljnost učiteljev s ponudbami Krajinskega parka Goričko za učence razredne stopnje in kako posamezne šole v omenjenem parku te ponudbe izkoriščajo. Prav tako smo proučevali, kateri so razlogi, ki učiteljem otežujejo in onemogočajo, da bi se odločili za več ponujenih dejavnosti parka. Zanimalo nas je tudi, katero dejavnost so učitelji z učenci izvedli v tekočem šolskem letu in kakšen odnos, po mnenju učiteljev, kažejo učenci, ko izvajajo omenjene dejavnosti. Ugotavljali smo tudi, kakšno je znanje učiteljev o Krajinskem parku Goričko ali si želijo dodatnega izobraževanja o tej temi in v kakšnih oblikah. V praktičnem delu so zbrane in predstavljene nekatere možne dejavnosti v Krajinskem parku Goričko, za katere se učitelji lahko odločijo in jih z učenci izvedejo ali obiščejo.This graduation paper, \u27The Values of Goričko landscape Park in the context of elementary school teaching\u27 consists of three sections.
