Often we hear that the education should stimulate our creativity and team work. Yes, it is true. From this statement, we can say that, by school, there is a complex process of transformation of the students’ behavior (in the way they think, act and feel). The main purpose of school is to prepare pupils for life to the existing requirements and also for the future. The school must develop the students’ independent thinking, creative motivation and desire to express their opinions. Each child has an enormous creative potential that, in school, must be developed and encouraged.
The rate that our society is evolving is very fast and young people need to form better and faster. The educational process will also have to adapt to new demands of contemporary / modern society (from economically and socially). Due to these changes, the educational process is required to use different new methods and techniques to give pupils the most important and complex information in a form that they can absorb them more easily. It must provide to pupils direct access to information sources.
In any European Union country, the educational policies are oriented, from the pedagogy point of view, so that the pupils are placed in the center of its concerns. That is an active and interactive teaching, it is a new pedagogy that promotes discovery by pupils and by teachers.
By solving problems during our everyday life (whatever would be its degree of difficulty) the pupils are involved in knowledge and skills that can not be separated in the scope of an object of study or another one. The skills that prove to be important for solving the everyday situations are related to the ability of understanding and using the concepts, and the skills related to the exploration / investigation of reality and a problem solving.
The role of our project is to show the trends of development of the active learning at the beginning of the new century. The interest in the active learning was decisive in shaping a complex “picture” of conceptual approaches for active learning. Through these project presentation materials, we tried to emphasize the implications of related concepts more clear to understand the phenomenon of teaching – learning.
We also hope that our presented materials succeeded in capturing and developing the most important aspects of teaching perspective, in terms of identifying landmaks in terms of raising the school performance.
