Ścieżka dydaktyczna jako forma poznania najbliższej przestrzeni geograficznej ucznia – na przykładzie ścieżki dydaktycznej w miejscowości Zalas

Abstract

An important, but underestimated method of teaching geographic themes in elementary and junior high schools are strolls, organized on didactic routes appointed near schools. They enable merging the knowledge on multiple topics, show its application in practice, and enables expanding students’ interests. The project of a didactic route created for Zalas shows the possibilities of using local potential to teach geography, with special consideration of human activities. Usage of students’ closest neighbourhood as an example during the teaching process may have positive influence on the behaviour and value system of the young people, which will find reflection in their further life.
