Our next generation will be facing a world full of challenges, different from ours. It is also a challenge for us to prepare them to face it. Especially in the field of science teaching, we are required to provide interesting learning method that meet the next generation needs. This paper provides an overview of the application of one of the learning methods to prepare the next generation science teachers. The learning is carried out in six main steps: introduction, enhancing the concept, forum group discussion I, applying the theory, forum group discussion II, and evaluation. The learning was conducted in applied science course in Department of Elementary School Teacher Education, University of Djuanda Bogor. Result showed that this method train student to be directly involved in solving various natural problems around them. This kind of learning is learning that is needed by the next generation students.
