SCIENCE AND SOCIAL STUDIES LESSON IN CONTEMPORARY SCHOOL

Mirjana Boras ; OŠ Malešnica, Zagreb, Hrvatska

Abstract

A contemporary approach to Science and Social Studies classes inprimary
school lower grades places a pupil at the center of a teaching process. By applying
different contemporary teaching strategies, especially the general and personal aims
strategy, a shift has been made from traditional knowledge acquisition towards process
learning. This approach enables individualization and differentializtation in learning,
which leads to encouragement of creativity and metacognition. Offered contents are
whole, derived from one another and directed toward the pupil who will seek his or her
own answers.
