Abstract:
The aim of this article is to present the teacher’s role within interactive training during Physics classes, namely that of suggesting intellectual training activities to the pupils, which to actively involve them and to help them practice their potential to look for new knowledge, consequently to acquire new knowledge through their own intellectual efforts. The main objective of interactive training is to focus on the individual learning activity or on the students’ collaboration with one another, being helped by the teacher to shape his personality, to develop its personality and self-confidence. The main conditions that an interactive training should meet are: constructivism, interaction and meta-cognitivism. Conceptual maps represent interactive training methods during Physics classes and can be presented at any stage of the lesson, not least when acquiring new knowledge. The necessity to modernize the didactical method, in the view of developing the efficiency of acquiring Physics knowledge at pre-universitary level is a permanent concern of those involved in the entire training-educational process.Keywords:
