Porovnanie žiackych predstáv o lúčnom ekosystéme v obsahovom štandarde predmetu biológia (ISCED 2) v súčasnosti a pred zavedením školskej reformy na Slovensku
The Comparison of Pupil's Ideas about the Meadow Ecosystem in the Content Standard of the Subject Biology (ISCED 2) at Present and before the Introduction of School Reform in Slovakia

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the research was to analyze the level of pupils' ideas about ecosystem of the meadow discussed in textbooks of biology before schol reform in Slovakia (year: 2004/2005) and compare to the ecosystem approach of science education at present (year: 2017/2018). When comparing pupils ideas about ecosystem, projective techniques were used in the research groups (712 respondents), using a high-reliability pupil drawing method (Cronbach'salpha 0.7047). In general, we can find a low level of acquired species nomenclature of animals of the meadow ecosystem, with pre-reform time of pupils on average more successful (25%) than at present (21%). In our findings we have a very low understanding of food relations in the ecosystem (5-10%) among pupils of primary school compared to the pre-reform period (61%). According to the present results on ecosystems in the current school system were commend in the future to integrate into the classic teaching of the elements of non-formal science education on the characteristics of the meadow ecosystems in the context of the natural environment directly on the schoolland in the primary school.
