Abstract

The issue of scientific investigation gains a special significance in an ever-changing economic, social and political environment where almost all aspects of education, and in particular education, starting with funding, content, quality, efficiency of educational systems and activities, are brought into question. According to the literature and models of good educational practices, there is important evidence of scientific research that highlights that teaching subjects by approaching the scientific investigation method, contribute to fostering of school pupils / students motivation, educating their scientific spirit and intellectual development. In this context, teachers have a significant role to play in applying specific techniques of scientific knowledge in the act of teaching, i.e. to teach school pupils / students how knowledge, idea and science are produced, because only so its values will truly be assimilated. Moreover, in order to facilitate the implementation of investigation-based learning and teaching models in authorized / accredited study programs within educational institutions, it is essential to promote the educational vision of teachers and, most importantly, in the specific activities of educational institution.
