In some schools the educational method known as phenomenon learningis already applied. It is a totally opposite system to traditional classes where you still work with subjects, subjects and exams.

This project is committed to working on projects, allowing them to acquire isolated knowledge on different subjects and the student has a much more active role.

What is the project work in schools?

The phenomenon learning system is being implemented in Finnish schools, whose educational model is considered one of the best in the world. But, what does it consist of? If traditional education is divided into subjects what this new methodology does is that:

- Education is organized by projects and research work: instead of going to math or science class, children learn more actively, participate in the planning, research and evaluation process.

- The students can choose a topic of their interest and develop it with the help of their teachers, that is, the children become creators and active actors.

- Learning is not based on memorization but its objective is real understanding. - Teachers will not only limit themselves to giving master classes and will become more mentors to students.

- Teaching is not based on theory,

practice takes a big role. - The understanding of what is being studied is important, and for this reason, it is essential to ask questions or raise problems. The idea is that the students jointly construct the answers to these questions, such as why an airplane flies.

- The starting point of phenomenon learning is constructivism, that is, students are seen as builders of knowledge from small pieces of information. For example, the student has to reinvent the wheel, for this they can use the information and tools that other cultures have transmitted.
