Blanka Ljubenkov ; Osnovna škola

Abstract

The purpose of education is not only in learning how to acquire facts but also in developing skills of reprocessing knowledge through personal mental activity, and using it in solving new problems. The project method has such a wide range of possibilities and it is hard to imagine a modern school without it. Eco – project investigates the problems of environment devastation which are interesting, actual and present everyday, but on the other hand unexplored and unknown. Unfortunately, the eco – conscience of primary school children is verypoor.
By means of project education pupils are able to accomplish self-realization, and to resolve problems through the following processes of: informing, planning, decision-making, realization, presentation and evaluation. They also develop sensitivity for eco – problems, the feeling of acceptance, their creativity and originality. All of this could be very important later in their lifetime when they will be members of the world progress and will have the possibility to join the ˝knowledge streams˝ of modern developed world. The text mentions two projects from school practice as a contribution to these new streams.
