A teacher of a foreign language (FL) obtains his/her professional training during a higher education course in philology, where he/she follows a training program focused on "learning outcomes that include knowledge and skills corresponding to all the requirements of the core curriculum of the taught subject or the core curriculum of education in the profession, respectively, or the content of the classes taught" (Journal of Laws 2019, item 1450). From the this provision it should be concluded that FL teachers work in various educational institutions and with audiences of different profiles and needs, including professional ones. The article describes the scope and forms of FL/LSP teacher education in Poland, based on the results of a qualitative analysis of teacher education programs implemented in 2017-2020 at 22 Polish universities. The text presents elements of teacher specialization programs, including content specific to specialized glottodidactics at different universities/degrees. These illustrate the diversity of educational practices applied and are intended inspire the implementation of didactic solutions on a wider scale. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article presents opportunities and challenges connected with teaching the mother tongue in contemporary secondary schools in Poland. The subject of reflection is the concept of language teaching included in the newest core curriculum for high schools, technical schools, and vocational schools as well as its implementation in the series of coursebooks (7 volumes) published by the Operon Publishing House in 2019–2022. Both the school content and the detailed realization in coursebooks as well as additional materials reflect the tendencies in contemporary didactics. The adopted solutions functionalizing the language knowledge and shaping the students’ language skills were analyzed. There have been pointed out difficulties that the authors of coursebooks and Polish teachers encounter while not being able to identify the detailed school content in the core curriculum. The suggested conclusions are to complete the content described in the core curriculum by giving more details about set readings. That way, students would be informed about issues in the areas of language teaching in accordance with the current language scientific knowledge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Early childhood education is an important learning stage in the life of a young person, a time when the foundations of lifelong learning are formed, basic norms are learned and peer relationships established. This is a formative period in a child’s school career and of his/her future social position. Attitudes towards learning – positive or negative – are formed at this time, which will continue throughout life. Nature education plays an important role in the core curriculum for pre-school and early childhood education of February 14, 2017. Its detailed requirements integrate knowledge and skills relating to the natural environment, broaden information resources and promote attitudes of nature conservation. An important element of the curriculum is planning and conducting simple experiential observations and experiments. In this article, the authors discuss the core curriculum and suggest how it may be implemented in teaching practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the article is to present an analysis of the assessment of the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in conventional textbooks for teaching English. After presenting the theoretical framework of the new core curriculum in terms of autonomy and ICT application, the study describes the way in which ICT tools are integrated or ignored in current English textbooks. The study covered textbooks used in the seventh grade of primary school. Six of the eight (one per publisher) textbooks available on the market were selected for this purpose. Qualitative research comprised a thorough evaluation of tasks which comprised explicit references to ICT. The quality of the analysed didactic materials was determined by the potential level of supporting students' autonomy by using the coursebook tasks in question, measured through a specially designed Likert scale. The conclusions served to propose changes and improvements to these textbooks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article touches on the comparison of the method of teaching included in the book entitled Starting on the Harpsichord by Jean Nandi with the principles of the present core curriculum for primary music schools in harpsichord classes. The book is one of not many available teaching materials related to harpsichord playing. The publication is aimed at comparing the topics presented in the textbook with the guidelines set out by the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. The article also includes a short description written by the author and a presentation of the content of the textbook plus selected teaching methods. The textbook as such, apart from the topics connected with harpsichord playing, also covers basic topics in the theory of music. It is written using a very simple and understandable language accessible to young students and persons who would translate it into their mother tongues. The article has a chart which clearly shows that the elements determined by the core curriculum are present in the book Starting on the Harpsichord. The content of the article and its illustration and music examples will help readers to familiarise themselves with the content of the textbook and with the learning aims related to harpsichord playing set out in the Ordinance of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage of 6 September 2017 on the core curricula for education in artistic professions at public artistic schools (Journal of laws of 2017 item 1793). The text is addressed to people interested in harpsichord playing methodology, especially to students and young teachers searching for interesting and simple practice materials and music examples which can be used for working with beginners learning the harpsichord.

The article compares the biology core curriculum of Poland and the Czech Republic at the primary school level. Both countries have a long common history of teaching since the times of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A detailed analysis of the documents in force shows that the Czech curriculum outlines a broader thematic framework than the Polish one. Teachers themselves implement the curriculum with the content of their choice (e.g. they can adjust it to the level and interests of their students). The Czech curriculum places more emphasis on practical skills that can be used in everyday life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The primary task of school is to implement the teaching material contained in the core curriculum for a given subject. In the case of biology, in addition to classroom teaching, field classes are recommended because they teach an understanding of the interdependencies between different elements of the environment, and also shape a positive attitude towards the surrounding natural world. The implemented curriculum is based on general knowledge about groups of organisms and their characteristics, and usually does not focus on specific species. In teaching, it is worth basing the knowledge being conveyed on examples that can be observed in the immediate vicinity or to point out the biological diversity of the local environment. This is important because very often we notice common and abundant species, but we do not always know their names, not to mention anything more about them. This is one of a series of journal articles aimed to introduce common species of plants and animals, and to suggest activities for students in the field, thus shaping their attitudes towards research as well as honing their observation skills. This specific article includes proposals relating to different aspects of biology education, didactic proposals for teachers of naturalists, and the independent formulation of conclusions concerning diversity among insects, with a special focus on a group of odonates, which are characteristic of aquatic environments.

Background. According to the new core curriculum, health education should be treated as a fundamental task and physical education classes should include health education issues. The assessment of health education position in schools after the introduction of the new core curriculum based on the opinion of PE teachers working in Subcarpatian schools. Material and methods. The material for the research was collected in the first half of 2014. The applied method was a self-designed survey questionnaire. The questionnaire respondents included physical education teachers from lower and higher secondary schools in the Subcarpatian Region. Results. In the respondents' view, students are not very interested in health education. They give different opinions on physical education classes. Only the introductory or final part of the lesson is devoted to health education. Teachers expect support from the educational and medical sectors. Few teachers see the need to establish a school committee coordinating health education matters. Conclusions. After the introduction of the new core curriculum, the position of health education in schools unfortunately did not improve. Actually, it is a regulation in the core curriculum that is yet to be put into practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
