The Curriculum of Technical Subjects in Primary Schools in Slovakia and Abroad

Abstract

The curriculum plays a strategic and essential role in advancing education in every country. This research aims to compare the curricula of technical subjects in primary schools across three countries: the Czech Republic, Poland, and Slovakia. The study employed content analysis and synthesis methods, with documentation and literature review techniques used to collect research data. In the content analysis of the documents, we focused primarily on the division of primary schools into stages (cycles), the mandatory nature of the national curriculum, common curriculum topics across different education levels, and specific topics in each country. We believe this overview will be valuable for those who use the curricula of technical subjects in primary schools, both within educational institutions and for research purposes.
