Description:
This article tries to reveal the importance of using the problem-solving method when teaching the didactics of the Norwegian language. In the first part a parallel is constructed between the teaching methods belonging to traditional and modern didactics and are presented the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. Afterwards are analyzed the factors that enable the use of the problem-solving method and are discussed the stages that a teacher should follow in order to reach, along with his students, to a favourable solution. The emphasis is laid on the students and on the opportunities and skills that they develop during their active participation in this teaching method.
