Many years ago, Jacobs (1989) defined cross-curricular instruction as a conscious effort to apply knowledge, principles, and/or values to more than one academic discipline simultaneously. Today we know that when students see the connections between individual subject areas, the material becomes more relevant. There are many ways in which to integrate different subjects or content into a constructive holistic unit. The author presents an approach to mountain-oriented education that includes contributions from geography and physical education. Through the presentation of YOUrALPS (Educating Youth for the Alps: (re)connecting Youth and Mountain heritage for an inspiring future in the Alps) project results, the author discusses a cross-curricular approach in the school activities of both subjects when dealing with key issues viewed from different disciplinary perspectives. The author provides an educational vision through a proposal for effective teaching that aims to enable more successful learning and achievement by students. The proposal is based on cross-curricular investigations of the geography and physical education curricula (objectives, abilities, skills and competencies connected with the mountain-oriented topics of each discipline) and is enhanced with suggestions for integration either in indoor or outdoor activities. A survey of teachers who attended the Summer School on Mountain-Oriented Education (Slovenia, 2017) reveals that this type of integration requires – in addition to extensive planning and cooperation among teachers – a high degree of teacher commitment, which works well so long as there is high enthusiasm for the project.

A range of risk factors, so-called civilization diseases, begins to develop in childhood and fully manifested in adulthood. It is important to point out these factors and affect them with appropriate preventive activities. The chapter contains the results of the research carried out on a sample of elementary school pupils. The quantitative survey uses a method of an anonymous questionnaire sent to 100 pupils attending the selected elementary school. Several areas of life style (nutrition, physical activity, risk behaviour of addiction, sleep, leisure) were mapped. The final results show that the pupils participated in the research do not respect the principles of the healthy lifestyle to the extent necessary. Their knowledge and habits are average. The research reveals that the emphasis should be focused on nutrition composition and regularity in eating, drinking regime, the strengthening movement and reducing the risks for substance abuse.

The article introduces the notion of the flipped classroom, focusing on the benefits it can bring into the English language classroom. It presents the preliminary results of a small scale study on the way grammar topics can be covered when the flipped model is applied at the practical course of English with first year university students. The topic needs further investigation as it seems premature to clearly state the benefits of flipping the language classroom. Yet, it can be said that applying such a model can contribute to the development of learner autonomy as well as HOTs.

The paper reflects the recently obtained health-related and social-pathological data on Romany pupils. It specifies several adverse life-style parameters of Romanies as the manifestation and the consequence of their social, cultural, educational and linguistic incompatibility. The insufficient or even dysfunctional strategy of family education appears to be the factor preventing Romany children from acceptation of regulatory rules and standards. School is presented as a guaranteeing educational institution in the process of generating, stabilizing and interiorizing health-related values and rules. A significant potential of prohealth intervention programs is highlighted in terms of supportive health-education strategies. Last but not least, the paper points out the applicability of e-learning in the process of prohealth education at primary schools.

Student empowerment as an outcome of outdoor environmental education programs is connected with the question of who has control over these programs. In this chapter, we analyze how power is distributed among program designers, leaders, participating students, and accompanying teachers. We show that no model of dealing with the dynamic relationships among these program stakeholders can be considered wrong per se but that each brings with it particular implications for the other aspects of program design and implementation.

Should or shouldn’t outdoor environmental education programs promote particular values? This chapter focuses on the tension between trying to avoid manipulation and trying to pursue the aims of environmental education. We summarize the discussion of values in environmental education and outline Schwartz’s theory of universal values, then we analyze what program leaders think about values and how they deal with the issue in their practice. We argue that no education is value-free. Based on our research study, we found a normative, value-laden approach in outdoor environmental education to be controversial but still the most suitable approach for these types of programs. In the conclusion, we examine various methods of shaping environmental values in outdoor programs.

Jakmile řečník vysloví citát „Neučíme se pro školu, ale pro život“, je rychle zřejmé, jak vzdělaný posluchač znervózní a dává najevo, že řečník by měl zmínit, že Seneca tento citát původně formuloval opačně. Samotnou Senekovu verzi však dnes nikdo nepoužívá, záměna se stala všeobecně známou věcí. Co vlastně říká tento citát? Zaměřme se na „školu“ a na „učení“.

Výchova a vzdelávanie sú nepochybne dôležitými odbormi kultúrnej antropológie. Vychádzajú z faktu, že jedinec nie je pre žiadny spôsob života v žiadnom prostredí špecificky vybavený. Predávanie kultúry (kultúru tu chápeme v širšom slova význame, ako súhrn zvykov, postojov, schopností, vedomostí a hodnotení, ktoré si ľudia v spoločnosti predávajú najčastejšie formou jazyka) je prirodzenou súčasťou všetkých spoločností a závisí na nej ako prežitie jedinca, tak aj rozvoj celej spoločnosti.

Výtvarná výchova – obor všeobecného vzdělávání i obory speciálního vzdělávání na středních umělecko-průmyslových školách – čerpá přednostně učivo z oblasti výtvarného umění. Podobně jako v dalších expresivně-tvořivých disciplínách se při obsahové transformaci expertní roviny do dimenze učiva řeší základní problém: jak vyvážit proporce mezi učením o umění a učením uměním? Tento problém souvisí s již pradávným duálním Aristotelovým rozlišením módu poznávání na noéta a aisthéta (Slavík, 2011). Zjednodušeně tuto podvojnost představuje obrázek 23.1

Pursuit of communication is the major motivation in foreign language learning. Knowing one or more foreign languages today is no longer an additional qualification, but is part of the basic knowledge indispensable for the next stage of students’ education. Mastering a foreign language is not limited to acquiring knowledge about grammatical construction, lexical units and phonetic features of a certain language. In view of the fact that “culture is the necessary context for using a certain language” (web 3), the ability to fully use a foreign language in communication is preconditioned by the mastery of background knowledge related to the cultural specificity and civilization model of the nation.Pursuit of communication is the major motivation in foreign language learning.

In the following we present a part of an environmental awareness programme developed for the lower primary school. An important element of the programme is the playful introduction of knowledge, exploration and action-based involvement, which not only changed the children's attitudes but also their patterns of action. They have been able to find information on the topic independently and to see the connections between the local and the global. They recognised bad routines and were able to transform the actions of themselves and their surroundings for a more sustainable future.

Writing is a language skill that is rarely used in daily life. People mostly prefer verbal communication. However, writing has an extremely important place in terms of the permanence of feelings and thoughts. By making use of the studies in the literature, mutual interviews were conducted with the source persons and questioned in order to determine the writing training studies in the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus and to verify the determined data. The last period of the Ottoman Empire's education policy and the parts related to Turkish education in the 1869 Maarif-i Umumiye Nizamnamesi were examined and archive documents were used, and the subject was discussed and interpreted on the legislation given separately for schools. The educational yearbooks published by the state under the name of Salname-i Nezaret-i Maarif-i Umumiye, which is a work that deals with the education system of the Ottoman State holistically, were examined. In this study, a literature review was made, the data were collected with the document analysis technique and stated in the study. One of the qualitative research methods, descriptive analysis method was used and content analysis was also used. The aim of the study is to determine the writing education studies in the Ottoman Empire, the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, by examining the parts related to writing education in Turkish teaching, by using the archive documents and by going through the legislations given separately for schools, the subject is discussed and how the practice of writing education skills has been applied from past to present and with the theory of constructivism. It is aimed to determine the changes in the writing education skills in the understanding of co-writing education and to determine the pros/cons by consulting the practitioners of this work, that is, the teachers, the last point of the writing skill in question with this understanding. It can be said that the Ottoman state, the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, which were determined as the research area of the study, were the source of writing education studies. As a result of the research, the Ottoman Empire saw and applied the skill of writing education as a unifying element in order to ensure the unity and peace of the people. In the Republic of Turkey and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, the writing education skill studies continued to be explained by the educator in a face-to-face classroom environment, in accordance with the general structure of the Turkish education system, by writing school slips and on the blackboard, and it has been seen that the analysis-synthesis method of writing education is preferred today.
