An analysis of the application of the mapping concept used in the realization of evolution contents of the biology curriculum for the 6th grade of elementary school

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents an analysis of the efficacy of the application of mapping concepts in the realization of curricular contents of the subject Biology for the 6th grade of elementary school. The primary task of this research was to check the application of the mapping concept experimentally, i.e. to compare this teaching technique with traditional presentation of the same teaching material regarding the quantity of the acquired knowledge of the students. The model of the experiment with parallel groups was applied and the research included 84 students of the 6th grade of elementary school grouped in one experimental and one control group. The experimental group covered curricular contents related to evolution by applying the mapping concept. The control group was exposed to the same content by traditional informational-illustrative (classical lecturing) form of teaching. The experimental technique proved positive effect of the application of the mapping concept regarding the quantity of the acquired knowledge by the students. Based on the afore mentioned results, the Faculty of Biology, Belgrade University is elaborating a study of the application of the mapping concept within the teaching subject Genetics.
