Abstract

Abstract The modern approach to teaching in schools is based on encouraging pupils’ activity in learning about the natural and social phenomena; the pupil is an active participant in the teaching process. The “Nature and Society” subject curriculum emphasizes the use of ICT technologies and various teaching methods. The teacher, their practice, emotions, personality, and competencies play an important role in achieving the learning outcomes in school subjects, as well as in cross-curricular topics, such as is the Sustainable Development Curriculum. This paper presents a study that examined teachers’ Love and Care for nature as an important component of promotion of ESD and the practice of using modern approaches in teaching of the subject “Nature and Society”. The results of the study show that there is a statistically significant relationship between teachers’ Love and Care for nature and modern approaches to learning and teaching the subject “Nature and Society” and the implementation of ESD in primary schools in Croatia.

教师与自然的联系、可持续发展教育与克罗地亚学校“自然与社会”学科的当代教学

现代学校的教学方法是以鼓励学生学习自然现象和社会现象的活动为基础的;学生是教学过程中的积极参与者。“自然与社会”课程强调信息通信技术和各种教学方法的使用。教师、他们的实践、情感、个性和能力在实现学校学科以及跨学科主题(如可持续发展课程)的学习成果方面发挥着重要作用。本文提出了一项研究，探讨了教师对自然的爱和关怀是促进可持续发展教育的重要组成部分，以及在“自然与社会”课程教学中使用现代方法的实践。研究结果表明，克罗地亚小学“自然与社会”学科的现代学习和教学方法以及可持续发展教育的实施与教师对自然的热爱和关怀之间存在统计学上显著的关系。
