A Postcard from Croatia : Where Would We Like to Proceed in Chemical Education

Croatian National Educational Standard (CNES) was designed to bring about a change in everyday teaching processes. This was especially needed in science courses, where a conventional lecture approach prevailed, with very few demonstrations and experiments offered. Correspondingly, experts in the fields of chemistry, physics, and biology joined forces and gave their best efforts to implement a small-group, discovery-based learning strategy (SGDBLS) as the main teaching method for all sciences. The origins of this teaching strategy trace back to the ideas of Ariel Guererro. For nearly 30 years, several Croatian chemistry teachers have practiced and developed his ideas. The core of those ideas is comparable to the principles of the Vygotskian and Ausubel approaches.
