The opinion of the teachers and the pupils
on teaching and learning at elementary
school “Jovan Dučić”
Vesna Kostić, Jelena Mucić, Jovana Vasić
C Summary
hanges in the contemporary society have brought a new way of working
at schools. The traditional method of teaching was focused on the teacher
and required the expertise of the teachers primarily as a lecturer. Active le-
arning refers to the student who is directly involved in the learning process,
whereas the teacher should give the students an intellectual incentive, en-
courage their curiosity and support them in their work.
The objective of this paper was to examine the students’ and the tea-
chers’ opinions on the teaching process, on the methods and the ways of
students’ learning and the teachers’ way of working in order to improve
the quality of the teaching and the learning process itself. The research was
carried out both among the students from the 5th to the 8th grade and the
selected subject teaching teachers at school “Jovan Dučić”. It was noted by
descriptive analysis that there is a certain degree of disagreement in the
way the students and the teachers see the teaching process. The research
showed that the teachers should relate more material of their subjects to
other school subjects, include more integrative and project teaching in their
work as well as link school materials with everyday life. According to the
students’ answers, we can conclude that they would find the learning pro-
cess more interesting if the experts in certain areas attended their lessons
or if the elder students taught the younger ones. In addition, it is necessa-
ry to encourage students to strengthen their interdisciplinary competence
