| Description | Wrong ideas about animals have been reported in various research reports on the pupils of all age groups. This cross-age study is focused on finding wrong ideas about birds among elementary children of various ages (from 10 to 16). A questionnaire consisting of 30 multiple choice and open ended questions was used and one was graphic. This questionnaire was administered to 719 children from 7 elementary schools in Slovakia. We divided items of questionnaire in to five dimensions by their character namely: 1. Identification of birds; 2. Birds reproduction; 3. Food of birds; 4. Birds senses 5. Migratory of birds. We focused on finding differences in results between age of the respondents. We found numerous wrong ideas across all age groups. |
