PUPILS TRAVELLING IN LEISURE TIME

U članku se raspravlja o značaju učeničkih putovanja za rad suvremene škole. Programi školskih izleta i ekskurzija imaju nezamjenjivu ulogu i mjesto u sustavu izvanškolskih odgojno-obrazovnih aktivnosti, jer osim odmora, rekreacije, relaksacije i zabave, predstavljaju mogućnost zadovoljenja želja i potreba čovjeka za upoznavanjem, informiranjem i stjecanjem znanja o drugim ljudima, društvenim zajednicama, kulturama i sredinama, za uspostavljanje kontakata, dijaloga i suradnje na ravnopravnoj osnovi i za unapreñivanje meñusobnog razumijevanja i zajedništva. Putovanjima se, prije svega, stječe neposredno osobno iskustvo, tj. provjeravaju i primjenjuju informacije i znanja dobivena u školi. Turistička situacija je sustav meñusobnih susreta, kontakata izmeñu turista i elemenata prirode, društvene i kulturne okoline, za vrijeme turističkog putovanja i boravka. Susreti s prirodom, drugim ljudima, kulturno-povijesnom baštinom pružaju veliku mogućnost za svekoliki razvoj pojedinca. Odgojno-obrazovne ustanove trebaju promicati programe na načelu Putuj da bi učio - uči da bi putovao.The article is considering about the importance of pupils journey for the work of current school.
