Abstract :

Employers, career advisors and subsequently some education authorities emphasize the im-portance of the development of a wide range of transferable skills during school and university educa-tion. In order to develop these skills it is not enough just to expose students to a lecture or to a set of laboratory exercises in which they closely follow instructions provided by the teacher. It is necessary to implement problem solving or so-called “active methods” to achieve the aim. Some outlines of lessons that composed of different methods encouraging students to be active are presented.

Keywords :
