Abstract

The article explains how civic education is included in the subject of history in elementary and secondary schools in Slovenia. History is a compulsory subject taught in elementary and secondary schools and plays an important role in the cultural, social and political education of young people – young citizens. The analysis of current history curricula indicates that they contain civic and patriotic elements in the general and specific objectives and learning outcomes, as well as in the content. The analysis of selected history textbooks shows that Slovenian textbooks include more European history than Slovenian history. The article explains what social and civic competences can be developed and fostered in the subject of history and how elementary and secondary school students can use various examples from the past to develop a positive attitude towards Slovenian identity and the protection of Slovenian cultural heritage, a respectful attitude towards human rights and democratic citizenship, towards different cultures, religions and nations, and responsible socio-political activity. It has been noted that history teachers have many opportunities to teach students the relevant values of democratic citizenship and to enable them to know and understand themselves as individuals and as members of the local and global communities. However, more attention should be paid to contemporary Slovenian history and active citizenship.

斯洛文尼亚的历史教学与公民教育

文章解释了公民教育是如何被纳入斯洛文尼亚中小学历史科目的。历史是中小学的必修课，在年轻人——年轻公民的文化、社会和政治教育中发挥着重要作用。对当前历史课程的分析表明，这些课程在总体和具体目标、学习成果以及内容中都包含了公民和爱国主义元素。对所选历史教科书的分析表明，斯洛文尼亚教科书中包含的欧洲历史比斯洛文尼亚历史更多。文章解释了在历史学科中可以发展和培养什么样的社会和公民能力，以及中小学生如何利用过去的各种例子，对斯洛文尼亚人的身份和保护斯洛文尼亚文化遗产形成积极的态度，对人权和民主公民身份持尊重态度，走向不同的文化、宗教和国家，以及负责任的社会政治活动。有人指出，历史教师有很多机会向学生传授民主公民的相关价值观，并使他们能够了解和理解自己作为个人以及当地和全球社区的成员。然而，应当更多地关注当代斯洛文尼亚历史和积极的公民身份。

期刊介绍： El Futuro del Pasado: Revista electrónica de Historia aims to be an open space for dialogue and debate among researchers in different areas of knowledge that are intended to study the past in its various aspects. It is a tool for research, reporting and criticism, outside any ideological or partisan patronage of any type. El Futuro del Pasado seeks to help overcome the walls that separate the historians, trying to break down barriers between different related areas of knowledge and establishing collaborative ties for a world in which there is increasing importance to competition.
