Our main goal is to develop and disseminate a comprehensive methodology that covers all of the expected outcomes of the revised Framework Education Programme (RVP) for the first stage of primary school in the area of informatics and digital competences. We want teachers to be able to begin teaching under the new curriculum without unnecessary concerns or time and financial losses. In addition to creating this methodology, another key objective is to train at least 200 teachers and trainers, helping them become familiar with the changes and gain sufficient confidence in their teaching. We aim to ensure the methodology is innovative, accessible, and based on constructivist principles that encourage students to actively engage in exploration and problem-solving. A further priority is to share expertise between Czech and Slovak educators, particularly in light of the ongoing curricular revisions in Slovakia. Through this collaboration, we seek to ensure the maximum practical applicability of the project’s outputs and long-term sustainability, including further expansion and adaptation of the methodology according to the needs of schools.
We submitted the project proposal to help teachers better prepare for the new concept of teaching informatics at the primary level, introduced by the revised Framework Education Programme (RVP). Based on our long-standing experience with schools, we found that many educators lack comprehensive methodological materials that combine modern didactic approaches with the newly expected learning outcomes in the field of digital competencies. Additionally, schools face both financial and time constraints—investing in technical equipment while often lacking sufficient capacity to develop high-quality lesson plans or conduct their own teacher training. Therefore, we decided to create a comprehensive methodology grounded in constructivist principles (e.g., the Hejný method) and offer it to schools free of charge along with training sessions. At the same time, we aim to strengthen collaboration among educational institutions and to transfer proven principles to Slovakia, where a similar curriculum reform is underway.
