Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je istražiti mišljenja odgojitelja o poučavanju evolucijskih teorija djeci predškolske dobi te prikazati dosadašnja istraživanja koja su provedena na sličnu temu i usporediti rezultate. Evolucija, te teorija evolucije su vrlo bitne teme danas i smatra se kako je od velikog značaja poučiti djecu već od predškolske dobi značenju tih pojmova. Iz provedenog istraživanja može se zaključiti kako većina odgojitelja nije obrađivala zadanu temu s djecom predškolske dobi, ali bi voljeli i vrlo rado uklopili sadržaj evolucije u svoj plan i program. Može se uvidjeti, isto tako, da je došlo do podijeljenih mišljenja što se tiče poučavanja evolucijskih teorija s djecom predškolske dobi. Vrlo slični su bili rezultati više istraživanja koja su bila provedena u Americi od 1982. do 2006. godine. U ovom istraživanju ispitano je 60 odgojitelja koji rade u dječjim vrtićima na području Republike Hrvatske u dobi od 23 do 52 godine putem upitnika koji je bio postavljen na Internet.
