TEACHER TRAINING TO THE PROJECT HISTORICAL RECREATION IN OUR SCHOOL

THE PROJECT INTENDS TO FAMILIARIZE CHILDREN WITH SCHOOL LIFE IN 17th CENTURY AND THOSE PEDAGOGICAL METHODS, AND THEN COMPARE THEM WITH THE NEW CONCEPTION OF EDUCATION CREATED BY COMENIUS DURING HIS LIFE.

INSPIRED BY HIS IDEAS, WE RECONSTRUCTED HIS PROJECT SCHOLA LUDUS, i. e. TEACHING VIA DRAMA, THE WAY HE DID IT ALONG WITH HIS PUPILS IN THE COURT OF PRINCES OF RÁKOCZI.

FUTHERMORE, WE MAKED A BIG PICTURE BOOK ORBIS PICTUS, WHICH WAS THE VERY FIRST PICTURE BOOK FOT TEACHING CHILDREN.

THEMATIC

IN THE FIRST PLACE, WE HAD TO DEAL WITH HOW TO LINK THE LIFE STORY OF COMENIUS WITH HIS PEDAGOGICAL LEGACY. WE DECIDED TO MAKE A GIANT BOOK ORBIS PICTUS AND THEN DEPICT LIFE STAGES OF JAN AMOS COMENIUS EMPHASIZING SCHOOL LIFE IN 17th CENTURY AND CHANGES INTRODUCED INTO TEACHING PROCESS BY COMENIUS. WE WANTED TO SHOW THE TEACHING PROJECT IN THE FORM OF THEATRE PERFORMANCES EXACTLY THE WAY HE, DISTINGUISHED TEACHER, DID IT WITH HIS PUPILS WHEN HE STAYED IN ROYAL HUNGARY.

EACH CLASS WORKED UP MOTTOS ABOUT

COMENIUS,

GREECE,

TURKEY,

SPAIN,

PORTUGAL,

ITALY

AND THE CZECH REPUBLIC…

PREPARATORY A GIANT BOOK

THE BIGGEST BOOK HAND-MADE

WE STUDIED THE LIFE OF PUPILS AND TEACHERS IN 17th CENTURY AS WELL AS COMENIUS´ WORK IN HUNGARY, WHERE, IN THE PRINCE COURT OF RAKOCZI, HE CREATED A UNIQUE PROJECT OF PUPILS´ THEATRE PERFORMANCES CALLED SCHOLA LUDUS.

THE SUBJECT-MATTER HAS TO BE ADEQUATE TO THE PUPILS´ AGE

THE THEORY HAS TO BE CONNECTED WITH THE PRACTICE

THE PROCESS FROM SIMPLE TO MORE DIFFICULT

THE LESSON HAVE TO BE FUNNY AND INTERESTING

THE PUPILS HAVE TO REVISE THE SUBJECT-MATTER

CHILDREN ARE PLAYING IN THEIR FREE TIME…
