A classroom climate in the present research means the combination of variables within a classroom that work together to promote learning in a comfortable environment. In the present research, classroom’s climate will be evaluated, and what kind of influence different didactical approaches have on the atmosphere in the classroom. The classroom climate of two 6th grade classes at a lower secondary school will be studied: a class with traditional methods of teaching and a class with innovative methods, as regards searching for ideas, monitoring the students’ progress and giving instructions. Students in both classes filled out a questionnaire with thirteen statements, which included three dimensions of a classroom atmosphere: personal relationship, contribution to the class and research work. The results confirmed a change in the perception of the classroom climate, depending on different innovative didactical approaches. The values of individual dimensions are higher in the class with innovative methods, which was confirmed with a better atmosphere in this class and an increased activeness of the students. When introducing changes in an educational process, it is necessary to establish a positive classroom atmosphere. </style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">28-36</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%">Majda   Fiksl</style></author></authors></contributors><titles><title><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">THE DEVELOPMENT AND MEASUREMENT OF THE EFFICIENCY OF MODERN DIDACTICAL MODELS IN THE TECHNICAL EDUCATION</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%">educational model</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lesson factors</style></keyword><keyword><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">lifetime learning</style></keyword></keywords><dates><year><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">2012</style></year><pub-dates><date><style  face="normal" font="default" size="100%">October/2012</style></date></pub-dates></dates><urls><web-urls><url><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">http://oaji.net/articles/2014/457-1413727957.pdf</style></url></web-urls></urls><volume><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">46</style></volume><language><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">eng</style></language><abstract><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Presented research shown a sensible inclusion of intelligent didactical environments in the practical work in the education of the technical field in Primary School. The teacher with his modest repertoire of hours dedicated to technical education confronts great challenges, like how to inspire the students for the subject with the introduction of many different interesting themes. Firm example of study lesson is based on theoretical foundations of Didactical learning theory, advanced version also named The Berlin model. During the process of teaching we transform knowledge into practical work and through a concrete example, designed a new modern didactical model. In this model the competences of a lifelong learning are included: methods for encouraging the motivation, use of ICT and developing informational literacy, encouragement of flexibility and persistence at confrontation with new challenges and exercises, ability to self evaluation, developing of communication and social skills. The results of experimental group, which execute activities in form of new didactical model in comparison with control group shown, that students of experimental group had less faults at making the model and they also spend less time to finish it. Consequential students of experimental group were much more satisfied with their product, they gained knowledge and they were also motivated for further work.</style></abstract><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">43-51</style></section></record></records></xml>
