Summary/Abstract: This article focuses on the modern vision of education – one situated in the perspective of “non-obviousness” – currently giving rise to unclear and frequently contradictory emotions based on curiosity and indignation. What’s the subject and source of this interest? It is this author’s belief that those are questions related to a model of education in a state of transformation – one which constitutes the status quo of a multi-dimensional growth potential of the child. Among significant tasks for education we can name equipping the child with the ability to learn through preparation for independent and conscious employment of diverse possibilities of experiencing the surrounding reality as well as perfecting the acquired (in this process) ability to systemize, verify and evaluate the gained knowledge. This idea is put into practice by the strategy of teaching through the constructivist theory of learning which focuses on the child who dynamically creates his or her own knowledge in the process of exploring and processing information.
