The use of informal sources of science learning (science documentaries) in teaching concepts of the Solar System
Summary:
This master’s thesis refers to a teaching intervention that took place in five groups of pupils from 3 different schools in the regions of Athens and Piraeus. Its main purpose was to evaluate the use of science documentaries in teaching Solar System. This intervention has highlighted and captured students' ideas about concepts related to our Solar System and especially the age of the solar system, Sun’s and planets’ formation order, process of planets’ formation, structure and layout of our solar system and relative sizes of Sun and planets. 19 sixth grade pupils from three primary schools of Attica participated in this survey. The intervention was based on presenting and editing parts of science documentaries. Individual interviews were held before and after the intervention as a means of investigating students’ ideas and examining how successful the intervention was. The results showed that students have a variety of ideas concerning issues related to the solar system and that their cognitive level has improved after the intervention.
