From traditional to modern concepts of teaching contents of the subjects the world around us and nature and society

Abstract

The transformation of the traditional teaching of nature and society into a more modern form requires the following key transformations: the prevailing teacher’s lecturing should transform into the prevailing activity of students in discovering new knowledge; instead of the teachers solving problems there should be individual work of students; instead of single-mindedness there should be divergent, creative thinking and the like. Therefore, the way out of teaching nature and society that is regulated in such a manner could be if the teaching is organized so as to use active forms of learning that rely on modern educational systems, which develops students intellectually. The question is how to transform traditional into contemporary teaching of nature and society. One of the critical points is the problem of teaching content and the coordination of this content and the process of learning with the development of science.
