Integrated Thematic Instruction in the Environment of Czech Primary Schools: a Cross-Sectional Study

Original language description

Integrated Thematic Instruction (ITI) (now also Highly Effective Teaching) is a type of teaching that is basedprimarily on one long-term unifying theme and its subsequent elaboration into branching themes and skills. Althoughthe basic principles of ITI are reflected in the concept of the Czech curriculum, specifically in its project form (theFramework Educational Programme for Primary Education), there is only sporadic information on how ITI is used inpedagogical practice. The aim of this national cross-sectional study with a questionnaire was to find out what is theawareness of first grade primary school teachers about the ITI model, and to further focus and explore selectedapplications of ITI in pedagogical practice. The ITI model is used by only 23% of interviewed teachers, and a higherdegree of their awareness correlates with a higher frequency of using ITI in practice. Teachers most often use ITI intheir practice in the form of one-day or weekly topics, and natural sciences are the most represented teaching areas.In most cases, teachers create their own materials for the ITI application, but they would welcome the existence ofnew ones (even though in 43% of cases they consider the number of materials to be sufficient).
