Inquiry Based Learning

Current social needs emphasize the education of a person with creative thinking, capable of not only finding problems but also solving them. Different strategies are applied in the educational process according to the society's requirements for an educated individual. On this basis, the appropriate content of education, organizational forms, didactic methods and the use of the latest didactic techniques are also determined. One way to achieve this is to introduce other teaching methods, such as inquiry-based teaching, into the teaching process. Inquiry-based learning aims to make science lessons more effective, especially at primary schools, and at the same time seeks to attract students to study them. It has an irreplaceable role in new, modern and successful ways of teaching science. The aim of the paper is to design methodological sheets in the 5th year of elementary school in terms of inquiry-based learning and their application to the teaching process.

In this paper we have carried out an analysis and description of the four Russian language textbooks for elementary school (including the components of the accompanying textbook structures) from the book set “Oрбита” that was used in primary schools in Montenegro for more 20 years. The approach was based on determining how much the individualized exercises and tasks are included in the textbook, with highlighting the problems the students are facing with. Finally, we offered a series of solutions that make the exercises better and easier. The aim of our paper is todetermine whether and to what extent individualization reflects the level of structure and content of exercises and tasks in the analyzed textbook corpus, as well as to offer a variety of strategies and levels of individualization in the process of conceiving, designing and implementing of textbook of Russian language. Key words: Individualization of teaching process, the Russian language textbook for elementary school, individualization of teaching process within the class (within the group), individualized exercises and tasks.

AbstractBackground:During the past few decades there has been a gradual abandoning of the traditional Mediterranean diet by the population of Crete and especially among the younger generations. Since this is related to the rapidly increasing morbidity and mortality rates from chronic diseases, the need for educating young people on the principles of good nutrition becomes increasingly important. It is also acknowledged that the epidemiological field needs to focus on studying the implementation process, since this will allow for a deeper understanding of the outcomes.Objectives:The aims of the present study were to explore the process of implementing an innovation in Cretan primary schools and to identify best teaching practices and principles.Design:In three state primary schools on the island of Crete, 107 children took part in a 30-h nutrition and media education programme. Classroom observations were used to define attitudes towards the programme and teaching methods. Besides baseline and post evaluation, the pupils were also interviewed about 11 months after the end of the programme.Implementation:During observation of the teaching process, emerging issues were the teacher's motivation and interest in the course, his/her preparation before each class, teaching ability and communication skills, the respect and discipline he/she kept and the innovative teaching methods used. In some cases researcher intervention in the classroom could not be avoided.Findings and conclusions:Overall, individual teacher willingness and teaching skills were mainly responsible for the quality of teaching, the variety of educational methods used in classrooms and pupils' interest in the course. Changes in pupils' knowledge and recall of the course were related to teacher enthusiasm but also to researcher intervention. Exploring the teaching and learning process allowed a deeper understanding of the data. It is concluded that attempts to introduce the principles of a Mediterranean diet to children through nutrition education require innovative, enthusiastic and highly motivated teachers.

The paper highlights the peculiarities of teaching the students of the specialty International Relations, Law and History professionally oriented disciplines when the attention is paid to the study of professional disciplines. After mastering the core materials of the discipline, the students should know all the components of these disciplines and be able to apply their knowledge in practice. We have confirmed by our research that for the modern student to be able to master all knowledge and skills, modern lecturers at their lectures and seminars should change the teaching methods, tending more to the use of interactive methods, which, compared to the traditional ones, are much more efficient for providing the educational process. Among the modern interactive teaching methods, such methods as Circle of Ideas, Aquarium, Microphone, and Role Play, Imitation deserve special attention, and their use promotes students' cognitive abilities, creative thinking, quick decision making, work in groups, thus stimulating the development of communication skills, and mainly the interest of the student in learning. In the conditions of a pandemic (2020-2021), as the experiment showed, it is also possible for teachers to use interactive methods in teaching professional disciplines for students of the above specialties.

Sukhomlinsky's main principles of creative heritage concerning organization of elementary school as a basis for the preparation of a new generation are analyzed in the article. In the light of reforming the present-day school, the prominent scholar's advice will become a creative benchmark for organizing the educational process in the new Ukrainian school. The authors identified the scientist's most relevant advice for the present: the organization of the initial process in elementary school aimed at developing child's curiosity, creativity and thinking; creating a positive atmosphere; the application of a research approach in children's work; attentive teacher's attitude to each student. The article shows the connection of V.O. Sukhomlinsky's ideas with the conceptual directions of the new Ukrainian school: entering and adapting a child in school life, creating a situation of success in learning, fostering responsibility, creative thinking. Based on the analysis of modern educational documents, teachers', parents' and scholars' responses and significant V. Sukhomlinsky's works, the authors proved that the individual characteristics of the child were a priority in the creative heritage of an outstanding teacher, and remained so in the Ukrainian school of a new type. The scientific search revealed the peculiarities of V. Sukhomlinsky's view that the child is always a thinker, and whether she is proud of the consequences of her activity depends on her perception of herself and the world around her. The study confirms the relevance of the views of a well-known scientist for the development of the educational process of elementary school in Ukraine, the formation of a new teacher and the vision of the developed personality of the student. The article draws attention to such important approaches to human formation as self-mastering of knowledge, development of skills and abilities, awareness of oneself in public life. It is these views that are inherent to the educators of the past and are the basis of modern science.

The aim of this study was to determine if there is a connection between the inquiry-based teaching of science in primary school and the development of the students’ learning to learn competence. The research involved 333 fourth-grade students at primary schools in Croatia. The experimental research with parallel groups included a number of students who were exposed to inquiry-based teaching of science for three months, and a control group that was, at the same time, exposed to traditional instruction in the same curriculum content. The results of this research show that through inquiry-based teaching students developed a higher level of the learning to learn competence than by using traditional teaching methods. Therefore, it is recommended to use inquiry-based learning as often as possible, because by developing the students’ learning to learn competence, students will be empowered for the process of lifelong learning.
