Such conference format was determined by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic; therefore, the conference for the third time already, could not take place in its usual format.\u0000It is obvious that the plenary session “united” different continents – Africa (speaker Dr. Angela James from Republic of South Africa), Latin America (Dr. Solange Locatelli from Brazil), Europe (Dr. Martin Bilek from Czech Republic, Dr. Malgorzata Nodzynska-Moron from Poland, and Dr. Rita Birzina from Latvia). All plenary reports in their own way were interesting and relevant. Prof. M. Nodzynska-Moron’s report was dedicated to non-formal natural science education realities. Various practical examples were presented, non-formal natural science education experiences were analysed. Prof. M. Bilek analysed chemistry didactics issues in his report. A special attention was paid to virtual chemistry experiments, as well as to experiments using computer tools. Prof. A. James discussed the implementation of STEM programme while working with primary school teachers. Preparation and practical implementation aspects of such programme were analysed, concrete educational experiences were presented. \u0000In the first section, the reports were mainly devoted to the problems of pre-school, primary and general natural science education. A total of 9 reports were presented. In the second section, issues of natural science and technological education in gymnasium and in higher education institutions were discussed. A total of 10 reports were presented. It is interesting that in the second section, three reports of foreign researchers were presented.\u0000The topics of the research were diverse, basically various areas of natural science and technological education were discussed. It is important that the participants were active, intense discussions and sharing of experiences took place. The results of the ongoing international project “Bridge2Teach” were presented at the conference. More information about this project can be found on the project website (https://www.bridge2teach-project.eu). Various natural science education topics were presented in other reports.\u0000On the second day of the conference, a seminar was held for natural science teachers “Integrated science education in Lithuania: achievements and future perspectives” (The project is funded by the Lithuanian Science Council No. P-REP-21-8). Insights, recommendations, and conclusions of the research. \u0000Most conference reports were presented in the form of articles and published in the conference proceedings.

For example, something becomes morally outdated, no longer corresponds to the actualities of the time, as a result of which even minor transformations occur. They also take place in the education system, because emerging new educational environments and tools, changing educational contexts, and global current affairs give signs that the existing educational content \"needs repair\".\u0000The new programs provide not only compulsory (70%), but optional learning content (30%). It may be difficult to distinguish between mandatory and optional content in the educational process, as the latter will organically complement, expand or deepen the mandatory content. The use of optional learning content allows teachers and school communities to plan it in their own way. It brings a kind of freedom, but also a sense of responsibility. Also, it opens up great opportunities for collaboration between teachers (primarily science subjects).\u0000Keywords: educational content, educational environments, learning content","PeriodicalId":222493,"journal":{"name":"GAMTAMOKSLINIS UGDYMAS / NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115214522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By using it in lessons, it is possible to develop collaborative learning, activate student's prior knowledge and contribute to a better understanding and permanence of knowledge. Cooperative learning gives students the opportunity to explore the learning content more deeply during class and evolve critical thinking, while at the same time having a positive effect on the class climate and the building of close mutual relationships. With both didactic approaches it is possible to create new opportunities for learning, e.g., when the students themselves come up with new problems out of the discussed topic.\u0000The aim of the article is to examine how students accept the use of didactic method of gamification in the form of online applications Quizlet live and Socrative space race. In the centre of attention is the impact which gamification and the use of online applications have on students' motivation to learn, and how they simultaneously with collaborative learning contribute to better students’ results, understanding, and permanence of knowledge.

Distance teaching brought new possibilities, new challenges, and the search for new approaches to create an authentic, meaningful, and active learning environment.\u0000This paper presents several months of cross-curricular integration of science with English and the use of various online tools to support learning and knowledge acquisition. Cross-curricular integration is not only used as a meeting point of different subjects in one or two lessons but is a multi-month cooperation process in multifaceted learning that complements, upgrades, and enriches knowledge in different subject areas. At the same time, it seeks an appropriate balance between language acquisition and science content.\u0000In addition to connecting different subjects and their learning materials, this way of teaching encourages students to learn collaboratively, interact with each other and think critically. It requires students to work at higher taxonomic levels, as they have to understand, evaluate, and analyse the acquired knowledge. Students move from memorizing data to drawing conclusions and creating their own activities.\u0000The foreign language is not the goal of learning but a tool with which students discover new content and acquire new knowledge while expanding their vocabulary, enriching and developing language skills, and acquiring professional terminology in a foreign language. This approach encourages students to use resources in different languages and thus develop multilingualism. Additionally, the use of online tools reflects real-life situations and is appropriate preparation for the future. \u0000Keywords: English, science, cross-curricular integration, active learning environment, use of ICT.","PeriodicalId":222493,"journal":{"name":"GAMTAMOKSLINIS UGDYMAS / NATURAL SCIENCE EDUCATION","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132323400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some encounter Slovene for the first time, others already know the basics and are looking to build upon their knowledge. Knowledge starting points are determined with standardized testing. Educators then base courses on the results of these tests. After successfully completing the language course, students achieve the A2 language proficiency level, which is not yet sufficient for successful class participation, so additional work is recommended.\u0000In the submission I explain, how we can make traditional lessons more engaging. We can achieve this by including language learning tools such as dictionaries, lexicons, audio databases etc. The use of these tools in the classroom, I believe, should be mandatory, as digitalization is irrevocably changing the nature of our work. In the time of e-learning, every teacher had to adapt to the use of online tools. The opportunities for additional education were many, and veritable learning communities formed. One of these opportunities is the project Inovativna pedagogika 1:1. \u0000By including foreign language students in regular classes everybody stands to gain something. It is an opportunity to encounter different cultures, build a culture of dialogue and break taboos.
