Survey of the Current Situation of the Implementation of Polytechnic Education in Kindergartens and Primary Schools in the Czech Republic

Original language description

From a long-term point of view the educational system of the Czech Republic faces with the current issue of integrating the field of polytechnic education into its curriculum. This long-underestimated situation is to be changed in the near future by a sophisticated STEM system (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), representing one of the key competencies within the new concept of the curriculum. Improving the quality of polytechnic education will be bulit on supporting preschool age children and, within the adherence to pedagogical principles, on developing their technical thinking at all levels (practical, visual, intuitive and conceptual thinking) with an emphasis on the practical applicability of skills. Equally important is to develop fine motor skills and technical creativity in connection with new technologies, including teacher training in the given areas, but also the involvement of practitioners in teaching. The presented article aims to present the current state of implementation of polytechnic education and current needs of schools in the Moravian-Silesian region. The preparatory and testing phase took place as a subject of activity of the project Local Action Plan for the Development of Education of the Municipality with Extended Competence Ostrava and a total of 120 respondents from primary schools, kindergrtens and art schools took part in the survey, of these 20 respondents answered two questionnaires separately (primary and kindergarten), 67 questionnaires came from primary schools, 66 questionnaires from kindergartens and 7 from elementary art schools. In total, we analyzed 140 questionnaires. The authors of this article actively participate in the solution of this project and participated in the preparation of a questionnaire for the survey.
