Sažetak
Teaching using out-of-classroom research is based on learning
through discovery in the immediate reality, and on the achievement of experiential learning that results in permanent knowledge, disburdening of students and in a interdisciplinary approach to teaching contents. Student oriented teaching is a basic element of the educational and teaching process and it implies the use of primary knowledge sources and the need to encourage observation,
independent research, reaching autonomous conclusions as well as students’ practical work in the immediate reality.
The planning and implementation of out-of-classroom research teaching requires much effort from the teachers. That is why we were interested in teachers’ attitudes toward it. The goal of the implemented research was to inquire into teachers’ attitudes toward competencies and motivation needed for planning and implementing out-of-classroom research teaching, but also how frequently it is implemented and what are its advantages and disadvantages. 146 teachers, heads of county boards, from the whole country participated in the research. The results have shown that teachers highly assess their competencies in planning and implementing such a teaching form and that they are well aware of its advantages and disadvantages.
