| Abstract |
|
When a new concept emerges in the field of education, as in the case of European Heritage Classes, we need to devise a teaching model enabling us to develop appropriate learning environments. This model will be grounded in related educational practice and will be reinforced by the first field experiments, all guided by a truly innovative factor -i.e the goals and implications of this type of educative action. Redefining approaches, exploring the field of related educational practice, and identifying key factors based on initial experience in the field - such will be the theme of this paper which sets out to provide some pointers to the construction of a teaching model specific to European Heritage Classes Added by: Marie Musset Last edited by: Marie Musset |

p.42
The following are the three educational mechanisms most often used, cited and advocated by those involved in the field of environmental education: - active methods (in ihe form of games, problem-solving, project work, etc). In this respect, remember that a method is described as active when the pupil progresses by his own means and discovers for himself. Therefore, this is more than just a way of keeping children moving! - another basic approach is work in small groups in the relevant field, regarded as an environment to explore, investigate and analyse. Here, the importance of the dimension of relationships and communication is revealed. - finally, a pedagogical approach that aims to be both global and analytical, based on fundamental concepts promoting systemic understanding. This entails giving priority to understanding and the search for meaning, based on a few themes that will be studied thoroughly by exploring the relationships between factors instead of fading into an encyclopedic accumulation of meaningless data. Within the framework of educational action carried out in the form of a project or a theme, the succession of the following three stages corresponds to research findings in cognitive psychology concerning learning strategics: first, a motor-sensory approach with an emotional dimension: the discovery, awareness, and exploration singe of an environment, taking into account values and questions that may arise; - then, an investigative and conceptual approach: a "scientific" research stage, with utilisation/construction of concepts, investigative methods, etc; 42 - finally, a creative approach: a final phase of synthesis to convey and/or of action to be undertaken.
