Conception of literary education in Czech curriculumfor primary school in the second half of the 20th centuryThe article has a historical and comparative character. It is concerned with the conception of literary education as a part of the Czech language as a school subject in the primary school curriculum. The author pays attention mainly to the period of the second half of the 20th century but she takes account of the previous and the present curriculum, too. The aims, content and methods of literary education in the curriculum are studied separately in each period of its development there. The main tendencies in their conception are defined. A few concepts are described as tendencies to stability, e.g. the presence of customary aims, the presence of three basic sections of content without their further inner hierarchy, and the presence of methodical crux within the direct work with texts. As one of the most distinct changes and movements, we can classify the decrease and then expire of ideological stress on the curriculum, making terminology more and more accurate but without needful definitions and shortening of newer curriculum. The changes of curriculum have always reflected both the social and political transformations and their results.

Kenyans today are very conscious and assertive of their rights. They ensured that basic human rights are enshrined in the new Constitution of Kenya 2010 that they passed. Despite all these, it is relevant to question how knowledge about human rights is transmitted and acquired by young Kenyans. We carried out a study in an attempt to provide an answer to this question. Using content analysis method we examined the rights of children as discussed in various social studies text books that are currently used in Kenyan primary schools. The objective was to identify rights of the children, interrogate them as well, as compare and contrast how various authors/publishers have presented them. In addition, the same method was used to identify and document incidents of violation of children rights as reported in the Daily Nation. The major finding of this study is that the social studies curriculum in primary schools as presented in the books that we examined adequately exposes young Kenyans to their rights and related issues. Pupils who suc-cessfully complete primary school course can be viewed to be knowledgeable and aware of their rights. Examining the reported incidents in the Daily Nation however showed that there is still a societal problem in protecting children from abuse. Children are vulnerable and defenseless. Generally, they are not capable of asserting their rights. This is evident, especially, in situations where violators of children rights are people close to them such as parents, guardians and teachers.

The article presents experiences from the visit to a French primary school (L'école élémentaire). Education of six-year old children is discussed as well as their life at school. It is also considered why the Lithuanian “Good School Conception” functions perfectly in that country, while in Lithuania this does not happen always. The goals of French primary school are to develop learner independence and responsibility; to develop their observation, curiosity, creativity; to develop communication skills; to help a child to develop physically. The core of the primary school curriculum includes civic education and lessons of “discoveries“. The author of the article discusses the variety of learners’ activities in the classroom, the teacher’s work and issues of work organisation, learning environment. It should be emphasised that primary learners discover the scientific truths through experimenting, development of motor skills and creative imagination as well as reflections. The teacher’s activity is directed towards development of the learner’s personal ability to reason, evoking of the learner’s interest in science, learning of living environment as well as perception of space and time. Key words: development of ability to reason, primary school, school learners’ activities.

This study investigated preprimary school teachers’ and proprietors’ perception of curriculum process in preprimary education in Nigeria. 140 teachers/proprietors from private preprimary schools were purposively selected for the study. The research instrument was a 32 item researcher constructed curriculum process questionnaire in the Likert format with Cronbach’s Alpha of .852. The items were distributed into five sections: impending curriculum sensitization; curriculum objectives; contentment; methods and strategies; and methods of evaluation. The instrument was administered on the teachers and proprietors in their various schools and collected by the researcher and assistants on the same day. The resulting data were analyzed using the Chi Squared statistics. The results showed that in 28 cases out of 32, the Chi squared obtained was not significant at the .05 level. It was concluded that preprimary school teachers and proprietors had similar perceptions of preprimary curriculum process. It was recommended that preprimary school teachers and proprietors be given regular on-the-job training in this regard.
