As part of the Erasmus project, the pupils of class 4B spoke about the skills needed for work. Children are now growing up in the safety of their rooms equipped with a computer, Play Station, a cell phone that teaches them in a fast, easy-to-access entertaining way, but sometimes with too little imagination and creativity. We encourage them to learn as much as possible, take them to additional activities that will give them the necessary knowledge.
With that best intentions, we sometimes forget about the skills and competences that should be developed since early childhood. Today's pupils will not have the opportunity to develop them because no one sets such demands before them.
What attributes are needed for success?
- Independent thinking
- Taking risks
- Developed imagination
- Attention and concentration
- The power of learning from failure
- Flexible thinking
- Curiosity
- Making decisions
- Originality and creativity
- Solving problems
- Compliance
- Perseverance
- Speaking competence
That's why the pupils took saws, rasps and sandpaper into their hands, and prepared and processed wooden paint boards. In a dusty atmosphere and a little burning in their fingers, they demostrated whose board is better. New experience in work and the value of painting miniatures ended at the humanitarian fair. Student experience and satisfaction inspire them for new work challenges and acquiring of new skills.
