ANETA HYBŠOVÁ

Abstract:

The Czech biology textbooks contain almost no graphs, tables and figures, despite the fact that biology is an exact science. In contrast to British textbooks that include this interdisciplinarity. British textbooks are full of charts, tables, and even contains some statistical tests. This fact points to the diversity of approaches of Czech and British teachers to teach biology and the interdisciplinary. The aim of this article is to determine the differentiation between the approach of teaching biology in the Czech Republic and Great Britain. At the conclusion will be drawn several proposals to change the Czech approach to teaching biology.
