Biology in Primary and Secondary Schools-What to Focus on During Next Revisions? (English)

The article is focused on planned revisions to the Framework Education Programs for life science and biology education. The main aim of the text is to inform teachers, researchers and the broader public with an interest in education about what has already been done in preparation for the national curriculum revision and to summarize, for a wider discussion, the basic starting points for reviewing the framework of the Czech curriculum in the fields of life science and biology education. For the revision of the curriculum, the importance of cooperation within the disciplinary community consisting of teachers, university researchers, members of organizations and institutions participating in the life science and biology education of pupils at all levels of the educational system is observed. The article provides information about an initial survey, a questionnaire, and subsequent discussions with teachers. Furthermore, an analytical study for life science and biology education is mentioned. The article also proposes broader concepts of biological education for further discussion and outlines a possible procedure to revise the biology curriculum in the FEP, including the conditions that are crucial for the implementation of the curriculum framework. The proposal for revision of the curriculum is based on an emphasis on core disciplinary ideas and sharing the experience of teachers and other educators (academics, representatives of non-profit organizations in the field of biology education, etc.) with suggestions for developing scientific literacy.
