Cultural Education of Early School Students in the Light of the Core Curriculum and the Textbook School Friends
Abstract
The aim of the article is to analyze the Core curriculum for comprehensive education in primary schools valid since September 2017, and early education textbooks of the WSiP publishing series: School Friends, in terms of cultural education. The author focused on the analysis of social values and norms as leading elements in the educational impact of the school, but also on the range of tangible and symbolic aspects of culture included in the above sources. In case of the core curriculum, the analysis of the documents includes the objectives of primary school education as well as the objectives and contents of education in grades 1-3. The study concerns the system of values that the authors of the textbooks want to pass on to future generations, and the attitudes they consider the most important. It also refers to the way in which the textbooks show reality in its various dimensions: social, material and political, taking into account the age and perceptual abilities of the recipients. According to the research results, in comparison to the accusations made against the previously applicable core curriculum, this one contains references to timeless values of good, truth and beauty, and to some specific values related to patriotism and civic education. Also, the authors of the current core curriculum place less emphasis on the creative attitudes of students and their knowledge of human achievements in the field of music or art. The authors of the textbooks emphasize teaching students social norms and values important both at school and in the family. The image of the world presented in the textbooks is somewhat idealized and stereotypical.
