Research relating to traditional organizational forms in school training and secondary school education

Abstract

The paper analyses and comments the results that have been brought forth by a research on organizational changes occuring in secondary schoos owing ito instructions given by the Educational Pedagogical Institute of SR Croatia regarding some new changes in education and school training. The expected flexibility of organized teaching methods based on fixed 45-minute course work, is less present than what would be necessary in modern, effective forms of organized educational work. Research data show that the present system lacks curricula course work with students who show the need for it,, as well as other forms of work that would satisfy special needs of some students. It has been pointed out that such work demands discontinuation in the domination of fixed educational courses and at the same time requires a more flexible introduction of occasional courses and regular sub- courses which are better suited to the needs of students and which would last as long as such needs persist. Research material indicates explicit disproportion between such organizational forms of course work and expected propositional needs. Similar rigidness in organizational shemes has been observed in the treatment of more complex themes which call for certain adjustment and discontinuation of classical organization of course work which, would at the same time correlate and follow the features of informational resources, place of reception and a corresponding transfer of information to other students.
