Summary/Abstract: The study focuses on the utilization of the methodological concepts of the everydayness in the context of the history education. It uses a didactic concept of the historical mind outlined by Hans-Jürgen Pandel. In the center of attention stand school sources (photography, school memorials, testimonies witnesses, period textbooks), that can bring along testimony to the period everydayness in the school. General reflection is enriched by the illustrative case study derived from the sources of Jan Amos Komenský elementary school in Písek. The selection of the materials also focuses on the period of Stalinism. The methodological procedures which aim to fulfill Curriculum Goals and Objectives are based on concrete examples. School sources have a strong motivational effect on students because of their connection to the place they know. The educational potential of the sources is related also to the connection to the familiar social environment. Thanks to their knowledge of the social mechanisms of the school, they can easily reflect the differences between the actual state and the fifties for example. The study aims to prove that the methodological historiographical innovations connected to concepts of everydayness and historical anthropology can be used in history education as well.
