| Description | A basic knowledge of the structure and function of our bodies is fundamental to our everyday life and health. Such knowledge is particularly important for teachers who both disseminate it to their pupils and have responsibility for the welfare and safety of children in their care. A basic undersnading of bodily structure and function at an early age also promotes responsible, healthy behaviour and can minimise risk of disease in later life. In this study we investigated the knowledge and understanding of first-year education students about the cardiovascular system. We compared the responses of Slovene and Czech students who are training to reach in primary and lower secondary schools. In particular, we aimed to investigate how much knowledge of the circulatory system they had retained after completing upper secondary school (gymnasioum), whether they understand the main roles of blood circulation through the body, the functions of the heart and why we need to breathe. The rearearch will be continue (prosecute). |
