In view of the dramatic changes we are experiencing in the school learning environment, at Blossoms of Science we envision a situation where learning is similar to all the stages necessary to bring about a theatrical performance. The changes in educational tools and platforms, the penetration of sophisticated technology into the traditional school framework is bringing about a change in the role the teacher has to fulfill in modern education. The nature of these changes topped by the explosion of knowledge and information is creating an interesting situation and challenge for the teacher. Carrying the play, stage, theater metaphor to its ultimate conclusion, we envision that within the new learning environment the students are the actors, the teachers are the producers. The content of the play is learning, the form is cooperation.
All participants form the learning environment.
Within the new learning environment to perform well means to gain knowledge in conducting research and projects. After all, we learn by experience. The more experience we gain in the project oriented attitude, the better we will be able to foster cooperation and achieve our primary goal, namely, prepare our students for a better life, centered around the love of learning. A science teacher can have little or no knowledge in astronomy and still perform within the Internet Astronomy School. The teacher simply learns together with the students.
