TY - JOUR ID - 796122 AU - Kubiatko, Milan - Prokop, Pavol PY - 2007 TI - Pupils misconceptions about mammals JF - Journal of Baltic Science Education VL - 6 IS - 1 SP - 5-14 EP - 5-14 SN - 16483898 KW - age KW - animals KW - misconception KW - mammals KW - pupils UR - http://www.kubiatko.eu/clanky_pdf/pupils_misconception_about_mammals.pdf N2 - A misconception about animals has been reported in various research reports on the pupils of all age groups. However, deeper study on the childrens concepts about mammals has never been conducted. This study suggests the ideas about mammals put forward by the children aged from 10 to 15. A questionnaire with 35 multiple choice and open ended questions were administered to 468 children from 6 elementary schools in Slovakia. The childrens ideas were examined in five dimensions (animal classification and phylogeny, food, foraging strategies, parental care, senses, morphology and anatomy). Serious misconceptions about mammals across all age groups were found out. Our data provides direct implications for teaching biology. ER -
