METODIČKI POTENCIJAL NOVIJIH ISTRAŽIVANJA NASTAVE PRAVOPISA

Abstract

This paper explores recent research on ortography, as well as the potential use of the research with the purpose of improving teaching practice. Our goal was to include scientific papers and books relating to orthography, written and published in the 21st century. The corpus consists of four books by Veljko Brborić (Pravopis srpskog jezika u nastavnoj praksi, Pravopis i škola, O srpskom pravopisu and Muke oko jezika i pravopisa) and seven scientific articles by different authors. The results of previous research studies offer new approaches in teaching, which mainly relate to the creativity of teachers and students within the teaching process, thus contributing to the development of students’ creative activities. The studies provide ways of using orthography quizzes, illustrated materials and linguodidactic texts, which can contribute to modernising teaching orthography and to making students capable to use Pravopis srpskoga jezika and other orthography manuals. Given that orthographic knowledge is needed not only during schooling but also for further career development, it can be concluded that it is necessary to continue dealing with ways of modernising orthography teaching.
