Makale Özeti:

Children’s knowledge about human anatomy can be examined through several different
ways. Making a drawing of the internal features of the human body has been frequently
used in recent studies. However, there might be a serious difference in results
obtained from a general instruction to students (What you think is inside your body)
and specific (e.g. Draw bones that are inside your body) instruction. We examined
relationships between these two types of instructions using drawings of the urinary and
endocrine systems as the examples with pupils aged 10-14 years. An ANCOVA
showed significant relationships between general and special instruction, but further
comparison showed significant correlation only for urinary system. The level of students’
drawings significantly increases with previous knowledge about human anatomy
and age. These findings suggest that relationships between two types of instructions
strongly depend on the complexity of the organ system that children draw as well as
their previous knowledge. We propose that drawings from general instructions are
therefore appropriate especially for comparative studies. Special instructions are better
for eliciting a deeper understanding of children knowledge about human anatomy.
