My idea of education for slovakia

1. Jana´s education
Student to student

2. Students to students
Critical thinking
Education of values
Civic engagement
Students need to develop and improve
their ability to think constructively and
evaluate other ideas
Students need to give importance to a set
of values, in order to develop into
committed people with a sense for
excellence, moral courage and self-worth
Civic engagement as a part of curricula is
teaching students how to be aware of their
environment and to take a leadership role
in local projects

3. Critical thinking
In times, when we can access a lot of information, it is essential to know how to
take it, separate and translate that information into a personal meaning.
The ability to make judgments and reason effectively is therefore
a skill of modern era. Students need to think in broader contexts,
review background of information and make a rational decision.
That is why this should be a base of every education.

4. Education of values
Values should not be separated from any form of education.
Students should allow themselves to dig deeper and develop a strong set of
values, moral beliefs and respect towards one another.
That is the only way how we can achieve common
goals and improve our country.
Teachers should serve as an example.

5. Civic engagement
Civic engagement should be an important part of every education.
Not only it allows students to take the knowledge into practice,
but it also helps them develop into caring people with
heart for their local community,
seeing their need and ways how to meet them.
It also develops their abilities as leaders
when they pursue personal local projects.
They will build locally, while they will also learn how to think globally.

6. Students to students
Essential part of the education will be learning from each other.
Teacher will serve as a guide during the lessons, while students will be
discovering and resolving problems, coming up with ideas and respecting each
other.

7. Feedback
Grades will be used only as an end of the year assessment, with 3 meaning that
you understand the topic and are able to translate it into real life problems, 2
meaning you need some improvement and 1 stating that you have a plenty of
room for improvement.
4 means that you overcame the expectations of the teacher and deserves an
additional praise.
Feedback during the year is written in a form of personal letter and teachers
address their comments after the lesson

8. “I believe that education is all about
being excited about something. Seeing
passion and enthusiasm helps push an
educational message.“ Steve Irwin
