Formal science education is the last stage of acquiring scientific knowledge for most people. They rely on the knowledge acquired at school for the rest of their lives. Therefore, it is important that formal education changes students' colloquial knowledge into scientific knowledge and is correct. The study decided to test three situations. In the...
Contrary to popular belief, effective teaching does not consist in transmitting ready knowledge by teachers, but in acquiring, memorising, and then recreating the knowledge by students. The learner must discover as much „knowledge“ as possible. Such teaching/learning corresponds to the constructivist approach. One of the key steps in constructivist...

The system of education in Poland changed in 1999. The reform has allowed teachers greater autonomy in choosing textbooks and in the way of realizing the core curriculum.
