The influence of practical work on creating interest in historical content
Aleksandra Đurić
Sažetak
Practical work is applicable in science and technical education, because in those subjects different forms and manifestations of material are studied, but such
work is not as representative in social subjects. However, such work in history lessons gives students an opportunity to become aware of various cognitive operations, to develop interest in studying the past and creating a historical thinking. Students will be actively engaged into historical processes and through a combination of practical work, simulations and theatrical plays obtain a better understanding of their ancestors’ history, and most importantly display a greater interest in historical content. The author reckons that practical work should become an integral part of the learning process in history lessons, because it helps to achieve better understanding and awareness of some abstract contents. Such approach in history teaching will not only preserve interest and motivate the ones who focused their interest on technical science, but also encourage students with special needs in giving their own opinions and enable better comprehension of teaching material. If the historical content is presented in such manner, the students will respond better to the teaching content and actively engage themselves in the teaching process. Due to this, the author came up with a history workshop in which practical work method is emphasized and which at the same time demonstrates that manual activity and the practical method affi rmatively respond to demands of not only education but upbringing as well.
