NATURE AND DANISH EDUCATION

Denmark has a very interesting
measures for student well-being and motivation.
As we could see in RAVNSHOLTSKOLEN School, they use a special model
that combines traditional teaching methods with other active projects that create a learning environment. The teacher’s role is very
flexible and this helps provide high
levels of intrinsic motivation. At the school, we could see how the the Green Caravan project worked, in small groups and using constructive methodogy. Children had to research different proposals, such as renewable energy, global warming effects, growing plants and small ecosystem, or the difference between nature and quimical products we can find in the shops for our nutrition. We can not forget the Nature House "Vestre Hus Bornenaturcenter", where we could enjoy discovering how the children got closer to alife animals and insects thanks to the great biologist Bjørli Martha Lehrmann.
So many interesting ideas! Sure we are dedicating one week in Spring time at school, call the "the Green Week" to show our pupils new ways of working, the Danish way in C.P.R. Al-Dehecún- Spain.
