Abstract

The purpose of this essay was to examine children’s comprehension of the internal organs of the human body and to see how this understanding varies between ages. Thirteen children in the ages between three to five have been asked questions, through qualitative interviews, about their thoughts regarding the human body.

The understanding varies depending on the children’s age. A five year old have a better knowledge than a three year old. Their spontaneous reflections regarding the inside of our bodies are that we all have food, a heart, muscles and a skeleton inside. The internal organ most children could locate to the correct place was the heart. Most children also knew the function of this organ.

Keyword: children, development, human body, organs.

Sammanfattning

Syftet med detta arbete var att ta reda på vad barn har för uppfattningar om kroppen inre samt att ta reda på om uppfattningarna skiljer sig åt i olika åldrar. Tretton barn i åldrarna tre till fem år blev genom kvalitativa intervjuer tillfrågade om hur deras tankar om kroppen ser ut.

Barnens uppfattningar om kroppen var olika beroende på i vilken ålder barnen var i. Femåringar har större kunskap om kroppen än vad treåringar har. Barnens spontana reflektioner om vad som finns i kroppen är att vi har mat, hjärta, muskler och skelett i kroppen. Det organ som de allra flesta barnen placerade på rätt ställe var hjärtat. Hjärtats funktion kunde de allra flesta barnen.
