CLASSROOM ACTIVITIES USING THE UNIVERSAL TEACHING TOOL "MADONA"

In the paper, several examples of classroom activities are discussed using the universal tool of educational development, the “madonaˮ. The author considers that the tool is universal, because it can be used successfully by the student and the teacher, while the student can use it during the work on the assignment and during the presentation of the work, and the teacher- during the assignment and evaluation of the work.
The instrument is a multifunctional table that is very easy to use. When starting work, the student uses the tool as a plan to complete tasks. It works on the task offered and simultaneously fills in each column. At the end of the work, the table already represents the student's reflections on the work done.
The teacher uses the mentioned instrument as a form of observation of the students during classroom work, and can also use it as an evaluation rubric and individual evaluation form to evaluate the achievements of each student and the entire class without wasting time and energy.
The tool develops critical thinking skills and values in accordance with the educational goals provided by the national curriculum: problem-solving skills, critical thinking, creative thinking, communication skills. One of the advantages of the instrument is also the promotion of the development of metacognitive skills.
