Abstract:
The paper concerns the possibilities of using educational paths as one form of fieldwork
for activating learning. Educational paths, also fostering informal education of a wider
society, allow for conducting direct observations and measurements, and are a great
source of knowledge about the immediate environment. This form of learning enables
interdisciplinary education, combining geography with other school subjects. To become
a useful tool in education, however, an educational path needs to be carefully designed
and built and accompanied by teacher’s materials (guide and handouts). All the examples
of educational paths given in the paper come from the Kujawsko-Pomorskie Voivodeship
(Poland).
