Teaching literature with creative problem-solving in the second trimester of elementary schoolBlažič, Milena (Avtor) Iseni, Arburim (Avtor) teaching literature with creative problem-solvingliterary problem-solving methodflipped learning methodethical literary studiesschool literary canonTaking ethical literary studies (Virk 2017) into account, the article demonstrates that modern ways of teaching literature can already be used in the second trimester of elementary school. These include creative problem-solving (Žbogar 2007, 2013), flipped learning (Žbogar 2023a, 2023b), the method of solving literary problems (Žbogar 2023c), and knowledge about the neuroscience of reading (Pirtošek 2016). We demonstrate that, through contemporary methods ofteaching literature, pupils can be encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of the fairy tale, ethical matters, and the competence to compare it with Dostoevsky’s The Begger Boyat Christ’s Christmas Tree by studying Hans Christian Andresen’s The Little Match Girl.20242024-10-18 10:52:36Članek v reviji164268UDK: 82:37.091.2ISSN pri članku: 1857-8187COBISS_ID: 211262723sl
