Teaching as a(non)mutual process

This paper tries to answer whether changes have to be brought into school and into teaching. The research was conducted with the sample of 234 students and 55 teachers in primary and secondary education. The research points at a overstressed role of the oral presentation method (54, 6% of secondary school students, 75% of primary school and 83, 9% of secondary school teachers). Group work and collaborative work are neglected. They are used in the fourth grade of primary school 44.4% of the teaching time, the percentage of its usage in secondary school is 17, 7%, and it is not used at all in the eight grade of primary school. The teaching that is allowed in our schools supports the role of students as passive listeners and stimulates making note. A simple formula is present: the teacher explains and asks questions, students reply in order to meet the demands of the curriculum. All activities are initiated by the teacher, who gives shape to a teaching that is directed towards him/her self. Such teaching puts an emphasis on the teacher's monologue, on the non-structured work on students' response, on non-stimulation of students' initiative and collaborative learning.
