Abstract
In the conditions of dynamic social and technological changes it is necessary to introduce a more engaged process of knowledge construction in a realistic environment (Popović & Ristanović 2020). Project based learning is a form of teaching that enables the development of subjects’ and interdisciplinary competencies necessary for functioning in real life conditions. In this paper an example of good practice is described, i.e., course of the workshop, planned and realized within the project based learning. The workshop is intended for students of primary school in grades 4, 5 and 6 with the goal of bringing students closer to information about the importance and position of insects in nature through creative workshops - by making a hotel for insects. The activities are designed to arouse students' interest in nature and science, to have fun and to develop awareness of the importance of insects in nature, as well as the endangerment of some species, through play and wooden constructions. Also, one of the goals is to independently devise a way to increase the number of insects, to discover why insects are important for maintaining balance in nature, to devise how to make a hotel for insects in their garden and which materials to use for it, to develop interest and motivation for observation, learning and protection of insect species in their natural habitat.

Summary
Primenu tih stečenih znanja i razvijanje međupredmetnih kompetencija treba pre svega obezbditi adekvatno okruženje za učenje. Kroz postupak izrade hotela za insekte razvijamo i kompetenciju za rešavanje problema i saradnju. Kroz projekat uče kako da na nivou grupe donesu odluku, kako da odrede cilj projekta (koje insekte žele da privuku odabranim izgledom hotela i zašto). Realizacijom projekta takođe razvijamo kod učenika odgovoran odnos prema zdravlju i odgovoran odnos prema okolini.Učenici prikupjaju informacije o značaju hotela za insekte u organskoj proizvodnji i smanjenoj upotrebi pesticida, istražuju primere dobre prakse i otkrivaju kako bez upotrebe pesticida možemo zahvaljujuci povecanju broja insekata dobiti dobar prinos na njivi ili u vocnjaku. Učenici prilagodjavaju način komunikacije na nivou grupe i kroz rad razvijaju kompetenciju za komunikaciju, doprinose negovanju kulture dijaloga u grupnom radu, uvažavaju različitosti, imaju razvijenu svest o značaju pozitivne komunikacije i koliko im može pomoći pri realizaciji zadatka
