Abstract

In this case study we describe and interpret a didactical experience centered on the theme “Fishes” and developed in a first-grade classroom of an innovative school. We systematically recorded the experience, collected documents, and interviewed the principal, the teacher and the students. Seven categories were used for the interpretation of data: learning connected to the real world, availability of sufficient resources, excessive narrowness of the theme, openness vs. structure in the didactical work, children as protagonists, a rich school life beyond the classroom, and the multi-faceted relation between school and home. The article outlines and discusses children’s learning achievements.
