Study of Teachers’ Attitudes to the Use of Situational Methods in Their Work

Abstract

In the modern learning process, we are in search of certain ways, which will put every student in an active position. This implies the use of various methods, including the situational method. The present study represents an attempt to examine briefly the attitudes of teachers to the use of situational methods in their pedagogical practice. The main toolkit is a survey with two content areas. The first aims to establish the respondents' understanding of both the nature and the content of the situational method, but also the structure of the learning situation, while the second survey observes the respondents’ readiness to apply it in the learning process. The obtained results give grounds for conclusion with some recommendations for overcoming the weak application of the situational method.
