| Description | The aim of our study was to identify childrens ideas of various age classes (7/8 14/15) about birds. A questionnaire with 31 multiple choice and open ended questions and eight photographs were administered to 495 children from 10 elementary schools in Slovakia. We found several misconceptions, misconceptions were more frequently found in younger children, but several misconceptions were similarly distributed across all age classes. |
