The Nysgjerrigper Method A brief introduction to scientific working methods in primary school - Teachers' guide

Knowledge is a driving force in today's society. Knowledge will ensure our future. It consists not merely of skills and facts, but also embraces the reasoning and reflection required for life-long learning. Curiosity is an important tool in this respect. In fact, the word Nysgjerrigper actually translates into 'Curious Peter', and the programme is designed to put research and science on the agenda inside and outside the classroom. This abridged English version of the original Norwegian teachers' guide offers a brief introduction to the Nysgjerrigper Method and other learning resources for teachers and pupils in primary school. The objective is not simply to tell the world about what is going on in Norwegian classrooms, but also to inspire educators and communicators outside Norway to put scientific working methods on their agendas. The Nysgjerrigper Method is a tool designed for primary school teachers and pupils. Since the programme was launched in 1996, thousands of teachers all across Norway have attended courses and adopted the Nysgjerrigper Method. The teachers' guide is based on experience from meetings with teachers, as well as experience with entries in 'Nysgjerrigper of the Year', an annual research competition for young people in Norway.
