Key pillars of the facile cooperation between environmental and cultural education in Poland

Abstract

Contemporary education presumes a practical approach to teaching. For a long time, now it is not sufficient to simply memorize dry definitions – that is both inefficient and meaningless. Society expects of a young man that is leaving the walls of a high school or a university not only knowledge but first and foremost specific abilities and skills. It should be said plainly, however, that those can be nurtured through the education led in a practical way which allows the student to discover something autonomously basing on the theoretical knowledge received before. This kind of quality change in the education system should be particularly distinct regarding environmental education and science which should be, as a principle, taught possibly in the most practical way. Frequent access to the school laboratory will however not be enough.
