Lithuanian and LatVian students’ attitude towards sCienCe teaChing / Learning methods: ComparatiVe anaLysis
Journal Title: Problems of Education in the 21st Century - Year 2010, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
A number of the latest investigations specify the necessity of improving science education at all levels of the education system. A decreasing interest in sciences is one of the most acute problems of present education. The purpose of this research is to analyse how students evaluate the current situation on using different teaching/learning methods and means in the process of science education. Research was carried out in Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia (Lamanauskas, Vilkonis, 2008). This article presents more exhaustive research results, which were obtained after carrying out comparative analysis between the respondents of two countries – Lithuania and Latvia. It is very important to compare the evaluation, attitudes of the students belonging to the same region country, because earlier carried out researches show that in spite of common natural science education tendencies, rather signifcant differences exist between countries. It is believable, that they are predetermined by various educational approaches, teachers’ competence and other different reasons.
