Ecoremediation educational polygons in Slovenia as good examples of experiential learning of geography
Mojca Kokot, Jerneja Križan, Ana Vovk, Nina Globovnik, 2011, original scientific article

Abstract: Teaching in the 21st century is focused on learning for life and sustainable development. Lifelong knowledge, which is focused on education for sustainable development, could only be obtained with experiential learning, where students can come up with new knowledge through research and observation. Geography can bring many lifelong skills for students. Last years, the teaching of geography made great importance to education on environmental protection in nature itself. Therefore, this paper presents ecoremediation educational polygons in Slovenia. They are intended to offer young people the most authentic environment through direct experience in a real environment and in nature. On the educational polygons in real environments there are conditions for solving problems, while learning and doing research. Education on such polygons offers a great opportunity for young people to acquire practical knowledge, which can be used for effective decisions in life in relation to the environment.

Experiential learning - a case on diapers' polymers
Nika Golob, 2012, original scientific article

Abstract: The development of science competences requires establishing a link between theory and real world experience. Experiential learning offers the possibility for developing effective science competences as well as specific chemical competences at different stages of the educational vertical. The experiential learning strategy was implemented through experimental work and the cooperative learning method. Students studied diapers' polymers during chemistry class. The results of the case study analysis confirm better motivation for studying chemistry when material from everyday life is used as an educational prop. In order to monitor development levels of individual student competences, a set of instruments which includes monitoring dialogic teaching should be further developed.
