From competences to content

Summary/Abstract: The authors consider how the relationship between reading literacyand communication education can be defined and using the example of education for critical reading, they present communication education as an autonomous component of the Czech languageand literature education, with its own subject matter, educational objectives and content. They gradually come to the realisation that reading literacy, as it is usually understood, belongs among keycompetences due to its character (it is part of the communication competence). Supported by theresults of the analyses of the causes of curricular reform failure, they draw attention to the potentialrisks which may arise when we attempt to translate key competences directly into teaching. Theyclaim that it is essential to start from a sectoral basis, to formulate field-specific educational objectives and content in individual fields of education and to investigate their relation to key competencies. In the final part of their reflection, they present a model of communication education whichdeals with mental processes and structures associated with communication activities, while the educational goal then lies in the students’ ability to reflect on these processes and influence them inaccordance with their own needs and intentions. In this concept, educational content is the theory,terminology and knowledge needed to understand these processes.
