Abstract

Ecology, environmental protection, and education leading to sustainable development are at present one of the dominant educational topics at primary and secondary schools. Though a great deal of attention is paid to teaching of these topics in educational systems of most countries, it is mostly only in terms of theory with a little emphasis on comprehension. One of the ways of how to change this situation is the use of appropriate learning tasks that would make the lessons more interesting, would show a link between these lessons and the practice and would lead to the acquisition of skills, competences and approaches of sustainable character. Therefore our focus was to develop a method of how to create interesting interactive learning tasks and the ways of their application in educational practice. Our research has designed a set of such tasks and verified their effectiveness in practice.
