Knowledge of 4th, 5th and 6th Grade Elementary School Students in the Field of Reproduction of Organisms. (English)

The goal of the project is to determine the level of knowledge of primary school pupils in the field of reproduction of organisms by determining the correctness of their interpretation of key biological concepts related to the topic of reproduction. The basic knowledge of 355 pupils of the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of five elementary schools was determined using the questionnaire survey method. The average success rate of pupils was 53 %. Almost three-quarters of the questions (72 %) were most often answered correctly. Pupils made significant mistakes in the interpretation of terms related to the description and location of reproductive structures. There is no difference in the test results of boys and girls, or the test results of pupils of different age groups respectively. However, the average test score of pupils living in the village and those living in the city shows a significant deviation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
