SCIENCE SUBJECT AND THE ROLE OF A TEACHER

I would like to thank the editor of the journal, who gave me space to write some sentences about some actual problems of education. I am interested in science education, so the problems occurring in science education are close to me. So I would like to introduce you some problems of science subjects, which are well known, but solutions are searched for, how to improve the interest in science subjects among pupils and students. All below presented ideas are the opinions of the authors, you can disagree with or agree. The purpose is to evoke the discussion about the presented problematic. This problematic is still present in many articles, which are warning on the decreasing interest in this group of subject. So, where is the reason, that only a small amount of pupils and students like science subjects? There are plenty of answers, but which of them is correct? Maybe this one, that curriculum is focused on the knowledge too, not on the searching for reasons, why some things happened. And it can be the reason, why pupils hate these kinds of subjects. The learning process is still mainly in classes. The replacing of lessons in the outside area could bring the new knowledge for pupils and students. They can see, how some biological, geographical and other processes are ongoing. Many children have not got idea, why some processes and actions in nature are functioning.
