One Day - One Problem

The learning framework focuses on problemand study-based practical work. Throughout an entire school day, students immerse themselves in a single complex topic or issue. By the end of the day, they create a product, solve the core problem, or deliver a presentation on their research findings.

Framework Objectives

Developing students’ interest in nature and science by challenging them to solve complex problems.
Acquiring an in-depth understanding and conceptual analysis of foundational scientific principles.
Cultivating the essential skills required to formulate scientific hypotheses and systematically planning academic studies.
Developing the ability to conduct scientific research, interpret its results and applying them to everyday problem-solving.
Building the capacity to carry out long-term, routine work necessary to gain scientific knowledge.
Developing teamwork and creativity skills.

General Framework

At the start of the day, the teacher presents the central problem or topic of the day and, if needed, provides the students with the necessary resources.
Students form groups to start searching for new information, planning and identifying ways to solve the problem, which they then present to the class as a progress report.
Following group discussions, the groups decide on their research methodology or identify solutions to the problem, which mostly consists of lab activities or fieldwork.
They carry out observations, gather data, perform analyses and draw evidence-based conclusions and build their final products.
To conclude the day, the groups present and discuss their work and exchange feedback.
