Abstract

Ovim radom željela se analizirati uspješnost rješavanja pitanja interdisciplinarnog karaktera iz biologije, za čije je uspješno rješavanje, osim bioloških, potrebno poznavanje, razumijevanje ili primjena kemijskih i/ili fizikalnih koncepata. Radi ostvarenja navedenog cilja, analizirani su testovi sa županijskog natjecanja iz biologije za učenike srednjih škola 2011. te je izdvojeno 13 pitanja interdisciplinarnog karaktera, s naglaskom da ta pitanja nisu ciljano sastavljana kao integracijska. Napravljena je kvalitativna analiza izdvojenih pitanja, koja je obuhvaćala psihometrijsku analizu i procjenu kvalitete pitanja. Određena je uspješnost upotrebe kemijskih i fizikalnih koncepata u zadacima iz biologije te je napravljena korelacija ukupne uspješnosti na testu i pojedinog odgovora učenika. Utvrđene su miskoncepcije, pogreške ili problemi vezani za pojedina pitanja. Analizom je utvrđeno da su pitanja pravog integracijskog karaktera teška za ispitivanu populaciju učenika prema psihometrijskim parametrima, a problema u rješavanju imaju i najuspješniji učenici, uz pojavu miskoncepcija vezanih za fizikalna svojstva vode, proces difuzije i osmoze, krvni tlak i regulaciju.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this study was to analyze the efficacy rate in answering interdisciplinary questions in Biology among high school students. In order to successfully answer the questions one should, beside biological, comprehend and apply certain chemical and physical concepts. Biology tests from the county level competition in 2011. have been analyzed in order to achieve the goal of the study. Therefore, 13 interdisciplinary questions have been snigled out as the ones to make qualitative analysis on. The qualitative analysis comprised psychometric analysis and the quality of questions evaluation. The rate of efficacy was determined through the usage of chemical and physical concepts and correlation of total test efficacy and students` individual answers. Misconceptions, problems and errors were identified for certain questions. Further analysis have shown that, according to psychometrical parameters, some questions were too difficult for the tested population of students. Even the most successful students had problems answering the questions about physical properties of water, diffusion and osmosis processes and blood pressure and regulation.
