A small book about big educational ideas
How about turning a school classroom into a workshop full of joy and combining education with positive emotions? Who can do it? Especially you, teachers, and even you, parents! The education reform will be debated for years to come, but you can start modern teaching without it. Maybe tomorrow. It's time for you to start teaching like artists!
Board rehearsal? Waste of time. Monotonous interpretation? Boring, which won't stick in the memory. Bifling? Poisoning. It's all over!
According to the author, frontal teaching, demanding home preparation and assessment based on average grades have no place in Czech education.
The child or pupil learns the most during the so-called. active learning, i.e. when they acquire knowledge and experience in their own way. This should also be the basis for a teacher or parent who can use a variety of methods to support different styles of learners, from teamwork to very effective peer learning. On the other hand, he should never compare pupils or children with each other or give them bad marks.
Teacher, psychologist and didactician Robert Čapek will show you how to attract students to your field and awaken them to become enthusiastic naturalists, future journalists or creative architects. Because the modern teacher is not in school to teach "the material", he is in school for his students to play, create and discover. And because of that, they were educated without being bored to death by school.
In the book you will find many concrete tips and practices based on scientific knowledge and practical experience from schools where modern teaching methods are already in common use. It is also an inspiration for parents who are hesitant about which school to choose for their children and what they can expect from their chosen institution. In the book, the author also addresses the topic of home and distance learning.
