Summary/Abstract: The article is based on the findings of the Goerudio project which has been implemented by the EuroEd Foundation Iasi. The study focuses on the main factors responsible for students’ passivity and suggests innovative solutions in order to enhance students’ motivation to study science. Project participants, students, teachers and experts alike, have been engaged in applied research and development since the very beginning. Traditional and state-of-the-art teaching methods promoted by European projects have been taken into account. A solid learning community encouraging a new learning environment has been created through national and international interaction and communication. Its main ambition is to devise the necessary tools to enable learners to get a better understanding of the scientific subjects.
