Povzetek

V prispevku je predstavljen eden izmed načinov priprave na pisanje razlagalnega spisa na tekmovanju za Cankarjevo priznanje. S postavitvijo tematskega foruma, ki predstavlja eno izmed učnih okolij izven šolskih prostorov, kjer se udeleženci učijo, srečujejo in sodelujejo, sva želeli učence aktivno vključiti v učni proces in jim približati letošnje tekmovanje za Cankarjevo priznanje. Glavni namen asinhrone učne metode (foruma) je bil povezava med sodelovalnimi oblikami dela v razredu na posamezni šoli s projektnim delom na daljavo, kjer bi s pomočjo izkustvenega učenja učenci dveh osnovnih šol lahko izmenjali izkušnje, mnenja, doživljanja in ideje ob prebiranju knjige za tekmovanje.  

Ključne besede: spletni forum, priprava na Cankarjevo tekmovanje, medšolsko sodelovanje.

Abstract

The paper presents a method of practising how to write an explanatory essay for the Cankar Prize competition. Setting up a thematic forum – a learning environment outside school premises where participants are learning, meeting each other and taking an active part – it was our objective to actively include pupils in the learning process and bring this year's Cankar Prize competition closer to them. The main goal of the asynchronous learning method (forum) was bringing together cooperative working methods in the classroom at school and distance project work where pupils from two different primary schools could exchange experiences, opinions, impressions and ideas that occur while reading the book for the Cankar Prize competition.

Key words: web-based forum, practising for Cankar Prize competition, inter-school cooperation
