On the basic-school education of children with a socio-cultural disadvantage

Ivana Knausová

e-Pedagogium 2006, 6(3):31-38

Pavol Prokop, Matej Prokop

e-Pedagogium 2006, 6(3):73-85  

The classification of animals is the basis of biology at all types of schools. As previous research indicates, children however have fallacious ideas about the internal structure of organisms and their taxonomic classification. Only a limited number of studies have focused on the question of whether experience with breeding animals influences the level of children's knowledge about the animals' internal structure.
