A decreasing interest in sciences is one of the most acute problems of present education. The purpose of this research is to analyse how students evaluate the current situation on using different teaching/learning methods and means in the process of science education. Research was carried out in Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia (Lamanauskas, Vilkonis, 2008). This article presents more exhaustive research results, which were obtained after carrying out comparative analysis between the respondents of two countries – Lithuania and Estonia. It is very important to compare the evaluation, attitudes of the students belonging to the same region country, because earlier carried out researches show that in spite of common natural science education tendencies, rather significant differences exist between countries. It is believable, that they are predetermined by various educational approaches, teachers’ competence and other different reasons. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">66-74</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Irina Zhikina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inna Portyanskaya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE PROJECT METHOD AS AN ALTERNATIVE TECHNIQUE OF TEACHING IN SECONDARY SCHOOL</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multimedia programs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">science education</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2009</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">January/2009</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1392315832.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">10</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">The traditional methods of teaching in schools and gymnasiums in our modern conditions cannot properly provide the essential potential of intellectual progress in the ability of students to incorporate new ideas, knowledge and technologies. The project method in school education system can be looked at like an alternative to the class/lessons system. The project method like no other method gives an opportunity to wisely combination the theory and practical use of knowledge in real life. Besides that, the project method allows to deepen self-confidence of students, their self realization, helps them understand the importance of group work. The project method marks a serious role on cooperation in the process of completing creative exercises, forms research skills. This method not only holds educational function, but also teaches how to self educate.
 This article analyzes the experience of using the project method in basic school on chemistry lessons. There are examples of developed and tested projects. The role of the teacher in the process of giving knowledge is also analyzed. The results are taken in mind and future perspectives are developed.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">133-139</style></section></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Irina Zhikina</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Inna Portjanskaya</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE USE OF OPPORTUNITIES OF ICT IN THE TECHNIQUES OF TEACHING CHEMISTRY</style></title><secondary-title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Problems of Education in the 21st Century </style></secondary-title></titles><keywords><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">computer programs</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">multimedia lessons</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">virtual chemistry</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2007</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">August/2007</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1392218743.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">1</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">In present situation rather difficult problem of motivation of pupils to studying chemistry stands in front of the teacher. We consider, that new pedagogical technologies, particularly integration of chemistry and infotechnology, helps teacher to create sufficient base of chemical knowledge. Summarizing a five years' experience on application of opportunities of ICT in a technique of teaching chemistry in our school it is possible to mark out some perspective directions of its application in general educational classes and classes with the profound studying of chemistry and infotechnology: 1) multimedia courses for 8-11 classes on the basic themes of the state program; 2) use of ready training programs and virtual textbooks on Estonian, Russian and English languages that gives additional integration in subjects; 3) performance of virtual practical works on some complex and abstract themes; 4) the interactive control and self-checking of knowledge of pupils, preparation for subject Olympiads and quizzes; 5) a feedback with pupils and their parents by means of e-mail, web-sites, forums and electronic register; 6) practical research of pupils. Analyzing done work and the reached results it is possible to follow dynamics of change of motivation, progress and priority of the future profession on the basis of results of diagnostic questioning of pupils in gymnasium.
 The developed technique is tested not only in one gymnasium, but it was also repeatedly offered at city and republic conferences and courses of teachers of natural-science subjects where it has received a high estimation of colleagues and of the Department of Education of Estonia.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">120-124</style></section></record></records></xml>
