Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je ispitati zadovoljstvo nastavnika biologije gimnazijskih programa
s konceptom, razumijevanjem i provedbom važećeg kurikuluma u nastavi te razumijevanje
konceptualnog pristupa u poučavanju biologije. Ispitano je postoje li značajne razlike između
odgovora nastavnika različite duljine radnog iskustva te postoji li značajan utjecaj duljine radnog
iskustva na odgovore nastavnika. Osmišljen je online upitnik koji je, posredovanjem Agencije za
odgoj i obrazovanje, poslan nastavnicima biologije. Upitnik je ispunilo 78 nastavnika. Rezultati
ankete ukazuju da se nastavnici često susreću s poteškoćama u razumijevanju konceptualnog
pristupa i odgojno-obrazovnih ishoda te s poteškoćama u procjeni dubine nastavnog sadržaja.
Uglavnom nisu opažene značajne razlike između odgovora nastavnika s različitom duljinom
radnog iskustva niti značajan utjecaj duljine radnog iskustva na odgovore nastavnika. Ipak,
opaženo je da nastavnici s više od 11 godina radnog iskustva iskazuju veće nezadovoljstvo važećim
kurikulumom. Može se zaključiti da nastavnici prepoznaju potencijal nastave biologije temeljene
na metodama aktivnog učenja usmjerenih na učenike, međutim, smatraju da važeći kurikulum
samo djelomično ispunjava predviđene ishode učenja i očekivanja nastavnika u praksi. Stoga bi
bilo dobro omogućiti redovitu reevaluaciju kurikuluma, koja bi uzela u obzir osvrt nastavnika, kao
i stalnu sustavnu podršku nastavnicima, kako bi se uspješnije snalazili u ostvarenju odgojnoobrazovnih ciljeva nastavnog procesa.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this thesis was to examine the satisfaction of biology teachers in high school programs
with the concept, understanding and implementation of the valid curriculum in teaching and
understanding of the conceptual approach in teaching biology. Significant differences between the
answers of teachers with different length of work experience as well as the influence of the length
of work experience on teachers' answers were examined. An online questionnaire was designed
and sent to biology teachers via the Education and Teacher Training Agency. 78 teachers filled out
the questionnaire. The results of the survey indicate that teachers often encounter difficulties in
understanding the conceptual approach and educational outcomes, as well as difficulties in
assessing the depth of the teaching content. No significant differences were observed between the
answers of teachers with different length of work experience, nor a significant influence of the
length of work experience on teachers' answers. However, it was observed that teachers with more
than 11 years of work experience express greater dissatisfaction with the current curriculum. It can
be concluded that teachers recognize the potential of teaching biology based on student-centered
active learning methods; however, according to the teachers’ responses, the current curriculum
only partially fulfills the intended learning outcomes and teachers' expectations in practice.
Therefore, it would be beneficial to enable a regular reevaluation of the curriculum that would take
into account the teacher's review, as well as constant systematic support for teachers, so that they
can navigate more successfully in achieving the educational goals of the teaching process.
