The way of life of prehistoric people as a source of environmental understanding of pupils of fourth grade primary school (the theoretical and empirical reflection of the educational programme)

Abstract

The article deals with joining the educational content of the subject National history and geography with an environmental topic. A qualitative analysis of the author’s educational programme Prehistory – The Life of Gatherers and Hunters based on constructivist principles and psychosomatic participation of pupils, points to possibilities of connecting the instructional and educational potential of the chosen educational topic. A recording of the final verbal reflection completed with photographs of still images demonstrates the cognitive demandingness of education within a wider environmental context.
