DEVELOPING SKILLS AND PROCEDURES AT NATURE STUDY IN THE SECOND GRADE OF PRIMARY SCHOOL WITH A NINE YEAR-PROGRAMME

V diplomskem delu je v teoretičnem delu najprej predstavljen predmet spoznavanje okolja. Opredeljujejo ga cilji in vsebine ter sklopi, ki naj bi se obravnavali v učnem procesu. Sledi predstavitev znanja, podrobneje pa je predstavljeno naravoslovno znanje, ki ga opredeljujejo pojmi, postopki in stališča. Poudarek je na naravoslovnih postopkih, ki temeljijo na dejavni vlogi učencev. Ugotavljali smo zastopanost dejavnosti, ki vključujejo naravoslovne postopke v učnem načrtu za spoznavanje okolja za drugi razred devetletne osnovne šole in v delovnih zvezkih štirih različnih založb. Razlike v številu zastopanosti postopkov glede na posamezne tematske sklope in posamezne založbe so analizirane. Rezultati so pokazali, da so postopki v delovnih zvezkih različno zastopani, v učnem načrtu pa se pojavljajo predvsem med predlaganimi dejavnostmi, največ v naravoslovnih tematskih sklopih. Dodan je nabor nalog oziroma dejavnosti za razvijanje naravoslovnih postopkov, in sicer naloge za utrjevanje tematskega sklopa Jaz in narava.In the theoretical part of the diploma paper the school subject Nature study is firstly presented. It is defined by goals, contents and units which should be discussed in the learning process. Further, the basic knowledge and more detailed knowledge of natural science, that are defined by concepts, procedures and opinions, are presented. The emphasis is on natural science procedures which are based on the learners’ active role. Representation of actions that include natural science procedures in Nature study curriculum for the second grade of a primary school with a nine year- program and in workbooks of four different publishers, was established. Differences in number of representation of procedures based on individual thematic units and individual publishers are analysed. The results have shown that procedures are differently represented in workbooks, whereas in curriculum they are presented mainly among suggested activities, mostly in natural science themes. A collection of tasks or activities for developing natural procedures, that is tasks for refreshing the thematic unit Me and nature, is added
