The research was aimed at revealing the following: 1) opinions of primary mainstream school students on the subject World Study and educational environment; 2) opinions of primary school teachers on preparation for classes in the subject World Study and difficulties in organising the process of teaching and learning in the classroom with SEN students. 370 primary school students and 62 primary mainstream school teachers participated in the research. The research was carried out by means of a questionnaire. \u0000 Primary school students said that they rather liked the subject World Study than disliked it. Students with a greater degree of SEN have a lower interest in the surrounding world. Most students, those with SEN among them, evaluated their studies of the subject positively, while a small part of the students, those with SEN among them, expressed a negative opinion about their work. Activities most preferred by the students during the classes are discussions, experiments, group work, and games; however, students with SEN less often participate in even their favourable activities. \u0000It was established that half of the teachers who participated in the research expressed an opinion that they experienced difficulties in preparing for the classes on World Study for the inclusive classrooms; these are difficulties in choosing teaching aids and methods, preparing tasks for independent work. The process of education in inclusive classrooms, in teachers’ opinion, poses difficulties which are more connected with coordination of education of different ability students, providing individual support, attentiveness to the child and stimulation of motivation. It is more difficult to be attentive to every child when the number of students with SEN is greater. The process of teaching the subject is also made more difficult by the fact that students with SEN are rarely active and cannot work independently.\u0000Keywords: primary school teachers, special educational needs (SEN), mainstream school, inclusive education, World Study, educational process.","PeriodicalId":339631,"journal":{"name":"Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School (NSECS)","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121270328","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}

It helps to apply the knowledge in our everyday routines and in professional activities responsibly. The learning (studying) is knowledge, observation and experiments. The observation complements the theoretical knowledge, develops the abilities to apply them in practice. Accomplishing the observations, students experience the joy of discovering. (Gurevičiūtė.1998). Observation gives the knowledge about the nature and it helps students to recognize and discover themselves. It develops the scientific thinking and work skills. \u0000On purpose to engage students in the educational materials and to achieve the results what the teaching curriculum demands the teacher is supposed to find different methods and ways of teaching and education which the expectative results could bring. The research material of National students’ achievements motivates to search for the new working forms with students. With reference to the conclusions of the research material of National students’ achievements (2006) it’s true to say students can’t apply their knowledge in practice and in real life. One of the ways to solve this problem is the cognitive education of students’ abilities – the practical activities in the educational process. Choosing this way a teacher needs to work untraditionally: to involve students into the process of the education and observation, to act together in the exploratory and wait its results; to fix, observe, analyse, communicate and collaborate.\u0000Every teacher concerns that his/her subject would be interesting and attractive to a student. He or she wants the teaching material could be visual, fitting for a child‘s age, comprehensible, interesting and delightful with the final results. During the practice of my work I notice that the effective teaching and good results could be achieved while studying one theme some teaching methods of practical activities are applied; and one of them is when a student could teach contemporaries. Students are active all the time applying such methods of practical activities; and the learning doesn’t become long and boring. It motivates to concern with how the cognitive process would develop further. The reflection of students gives nice results as well: students can explain in their own words what the observation they did; they can analyse and make conclusions. \u0000In this article we have presented one example of the practical teaching method – observation in Science lessons. Accomplishing the observation we consolidate knowledge about the sowing, growing and care of plants; theoretical knowledge was applied in practice. We have learnt to observe, fix proceedings and make conclusions.\u0000Advantages of practical activities and observations are the increase of the motivation of students and the improved education of their different ","PeriodicalId":339631,"journal":{"name":"Natural Science Education in a Comprehensive School (NSECS)","volume":"97 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125766237","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}

Which methods and means to employ, for educational process to be fluid and education material to be exiting and interesting? While teaching primary school students the world cognition subject, I’ve noticed, that children get exited on these days when “something interesting and new goes in school besides regular classes”. To make educational process interesting and useful – that was my goal, when we started studying “Insect development” subject. I’ve relied on the proposition of many psychologists and pedagogues, which states that Z generation children are most interested and motivated by exploration. I’ve made a proposition for students – to keep and observe the life and development of exotic cockroaches in our classroom. The intriguing proposal caught the attention of the children and made them motivated to take action. With the help of children’s parents we made a “home” for the cockroaches in the classroom and started the observation. The exotic cockroaches successfully live, feed and multiply for few years now and make the “education material” for several generations of preschoolers. In my report I would like to present the process of the observation of exotic cockroaches and the making of the methodical medium – educational video film.
