METODE ALTERNATIVE DE ÎNVĂȚARE A ISTORIEI – REALIZAREA UNUI FILM DOCUMENTAR
ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF LEARNING HISTORY – MAKING A DOCUMENTARY FILM

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes an example of good practice in history active learning. It may be a little bit difficult to achieve, but has its benefits. The method consists in shooting a documentary film about a memorial raised in the village of Suraia (in the county of Vrancea), by the German soldiers, in 1917, right on the spot where their brothers in arms of the 182nd Royal Saxon Infantry were buried. Achieving such a project involved a four month teamwork of interviewing the local people and the representatives of cultural institutions in the county, surveying the pupils and the parents, searching for records in the archives, writing the commentary for the film and making the film itself. All these are in fact innovatory active learning activities that have multiple advantages.
