The contents of the course nature and society provide a great opportunity for application in everyday life. In order to achieve this, it is necessary for the teacher to first familiarize the students with the theoretical content, and then to show them with concrete examples in the immediate environment. Studying content about plants and organizing classes outdoors, students are given the opportunity to get to know each plant better. On this occasion, students notice, observe, collect plant species, become better acquainted with the positive and useful properties of certain plants, and participate in the creation of a herbarium. By collecting plants and creating a herbarium through the teaching of nature and society, students will be able to apply the acquired knowledge about given plants and thereby ensure the quality of the acquired knowledge. The goal of this work is to see how important it is to train students for the process of collecting plants and making a herbarium in the teaching of nature and society, as well as the application of that teaching tool in the teaching process.

REVIEW OF THE RESEARCH ON THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF CHILDREN OF YOUNGER SCHOOL AGE

Slađana Petrović — 2022-12-31

Morphological characteristics represent primary information about the psychosomatic status of a person, which is determined by the system of the basic anthropometric latent dimensions, regardless of whether these dimensions are developed under the special influence of the external environment or not. Morphological characteristics differ with respect to sex and age, as well as genetic and ecosocial factors. Therefore, the results of anthropometric variables of people from other areas cannot be used to evaluate this structure of our population. Also, considering the accelerating phenomena and relatively rapid changes in the eco-social conditions, research in this area should be repeated periodically, because the results become outdated very quickly.
