摘要：The paper presents pedagogical workshops “Darwin Today” which were held for the purpose of writing a graduate thesis at the Faculty of Education in Osijek. The aim of the workshops was to make the fourth grade primary school students familiar with the life and work of Charles Darwin by giving them simple tasks suitable for their age. Additionally, workshops intended to encourage students to further explore and consider natural processes and gradual emergence and development of the living world, and give them an insight into natural sciences which are taught in higher grades of primary and secondary schools. These pedagogical workshops promoted cooperative learning and, because of the chosen topic and methodology, moved out of the framework of traditional teaching.
