PROJECT BASED LEARNING AND FIELD STUDY

The goal of the research was to establish to what extent project based learning, especially field study influences the quality of acquired knowledge. The research was conducted on the sample of 64 sixth-grade primary school pupils, and 70 fifth-grade primary school pupils. Posebno su anketom ispitani i stavovi nastavnika o terenskoj nastavi na uzorku od 40 učitelja razredne nastave. The fifth-graders were divided into experimental and control groups. The experimental group practised project based learning and field work, whereas classic frontal teaching methods were used with the control group. The data collection instruments used were three tests and two questionnaires. The surveys were conducted on fifth- and sixth-grade pupils. Testing results show the increased success of the pupils included in project-based learning, especially in field study. This may be related to the increased motivation of pupils when project- based learning and field study are applied, as shown by the survey results. Therefore, the results of the research confirm the need of project-based teaching and field study.
