Abstract

The research refers to the use of project method by High School students who were attending the third grade of High School in Rhodes, Greece. We did an investigation in order to determine the improvement of students' attitudes and views towards the subject of Arts using the project method. The teaching intervention had interdisciplinary characteristics and the subject of the project was "the acropolis of Filerimos". Questionnaires were given to the students before and after the teaching intervention which was implemented during the first quarter of the school year 2014-2015. The results showed that the use of project method vindicated the goal of the study and improved significantly the students' views and attitudes towards the subject of Arts.
