Requirement for Education of Physical Anthropology and Practical Examples of Laboratory Classes in Junior and Senior High Schools

Abstract

Through a questionnaire given to junior and senior high school students after laboratory classes on anthropological themes, it became clear that these themes could fulfill the students’ intellectual curiosities according to their development, and could have educational effectiveness. This proves that science education in schools has a significant demand for studying physical anthropology. At the same time, a questionnaire given to junior high school teachers shows that it is important to supply specimens as education tools and to enrich the teachers’ knowledge in this field, in order to achieve improved physical anthropology lessons.
