Social Educators and Their Options of Preventive Actions at Elementary Schools
Social Educators and Their Options of Preventive Actions at Elementary Schools

Summary/Abstract: Our article deals with the environment of elementary school, which is specific in many respects. Our goal does not consist in analyzing in all factors that shape and influence the elementary school environment, but we focus primarily on the area of preventive actions, at the level of primary prevention in relation to pupils of higher elementary school (10–15 year old pupils). Such actions are most frequently implemented by the school prevention methodist at the elementary school. However, at present, also other professions are developed to be active in the area of prevention at the elementary school. Our goal consists in introducing and describing the options of preventive actions of the social educator at the elementary school. The article analyzes crucial documents dealing with prevention. We further offer some results of studies concerning the issue of risk behaviour in connection with the profession of social educator.
