Integration of educational contents in Biology and Geography from the point of view of in-service teachers
SOUKUP, Radek
The aim of the bachelor's thesis was to find out how practical teachers perceive the integration of the educational contents of natural history and geography. Most elementary schools in the Czech Republic adhere to traditional education and divide the curriculum into separate subjects. Teaching in elementary schools is based on curriculum documents at the state and school level. The framework education program sets the general framework for the individual stages of education and the school education program. It provides the possibility to create educational subjects through the integration of educational contents of several educational fields, but also the use of cross-subject relationships in the classical concept in individual subjects. The aim of the survey was to find out how the teachers themselves view integration and how they implement it in their classes. The work includes an analysis of the current state of integrated teaching in selected schools. The analysis was carried out on the basis of a questionnaire survey among the approached teachers from practice. Teachers teaching geography, natural history, or both of these subjects at the same time were approached. A total of 10 practicing teachers voluntarily shared their opinions, observations, and experiences with integrated teaching. The interviewees also mentioned the ambiguities, doubts, and problems that they encounter or may encounter when implementing this type of teaching in practice. Based on a questionnaire survey, it was found that teaching in intersubjective relationships is applied in everyday practice. On the contrary, integration in the sense of integration of educational contents of several educational fields is hardly used by teachers in practice. For this type of teaching, according to the answers of the respondents, there is a lack of undergraduate training for future teachers, teaching materials and experience.
