Nove paradigme poučavanja u hrvatskom obrazovnom sustavu

Abstract

Although the Croatian education system follows global educational trends, the official change in teaching paradigms is intensified with the introduction of new national curricula. This change brought the application of new teaching strategies and methods. Teaching is directed towards the student, and the teacher is the leader, advisor and collaborator of the student in monitoring progress. Such an approach implies the cognitive and physical involvement of students in activities that require regular self-evaluation of learning and what has been learned, solving problems, drawing conclusions and expressing opinions. The approach leads to a comprehensive view of the world connected with the achievement of educational outcomes. With a practical example, we will show the connected realization of the outcomes of three subjects: Croatian language, Mathematics and Nature and society. We will present the structure of teaching in all phases: from shaping the outcome of the teaching activity, planning evaluation, choosing content and methods to the realization of the teaching activity and reflection. This way of teaching moves away from the content, and emphasizes learning with understanding, critical thinking and learning for life.
