Abstract

The smooth running of the educational process and the results obtained depend on the methods used. Active-participatory methods are methods that ensure the applicability of knowledge, offer the prospect of practising skills and abilities in different contexts and situations, lead to conceptual clarification and operationalisation of acquired knowledge. The interactivity of the teaching-learning-assessment process is carried out according to the individual needs of each pupil, enhancing and stimulating creativity and originality. The aim of the research is to reveal the theoretical aspects of the formation and development of social competences and through them the development of self-awareness skills by using interactive methods. As a hypothesis, we have stated that the judicious, rational and systematic use of active-participatory methods in the integrated subjects taught leads to the development of emotional, communicative and relational skills as sources of self-awareness and the gradual development of interest in self-appraisal and self-training, premises that will lead to the efficiency of the instructional-educational process. Modern methods tend to come as close as possible to scientific research methods, involving pupils in direct investigation and research of phenomena. The research was carried out in parallel on two groups of subjects, one control and one experimental, each of 23 students of young school age, respectively classes A and B of the National College ,,Mihai Eminescu" in Petroşani, students having specific characteristics of psychological development of their age. Initial assessment tests were applied to the two groups, and similar results were obtained from the subjects in the experimental group and those in the control group in the initial tests. In order to achieve the objectives and to confirm the hypothesis we used different research methods and tools.
