TRADITION AND MODERNITY IN DEVELOPING WRITING SKILLS AND TECHNIQUE IN PRIMARY SCHOOL

Nowadays, when the role of a knowledge - based society becomes increasingly significant, we face challenges on a variety of levels: cultural, economic, social and educational, as well. The traditional role played by school in society is to offer pupils a genuine useful value system, adaptable to the social and economic background. Pre university- education system undergoes permanent changes and transformations, and the key factor of such changes is the pupil-oriented learning. An important aspect regarding the pupil as the central intellectual capital for new modern didactic approaches is the role teachers and teaching methods help pupils become prepared for the society, for the future, by supporting them both to discover life around them to be sensitive at the same time, and to develop skills and competencies, to shape and outline their personality and character. The goal of this paper is to emphasize the importance and advantages of modern teaching aids for developing skills and techniques in primary school, especially writing skills and techniques. Analysing development of writing skills and techniques as source of innovation and novelty in didactic approach, creates a competitive advantage for further social and cultural development of pupils in the era of knowledge where people must rely on intellect, intuition and creativity. The present paper is an exploratory endeavour based on several sources of information, meant to conceptualize the terms of pupil-oriented learning, writing skills and techniques in primary school, as part of a modern didactic approach built within a redefined learning system.
