Učebnice pod kontrolou. Politické ideje jako východisko obsahového vymezení učebnic

Abstract

Every political establishment seeks to control the ideological and educational content of textbooks. With its decrees, the Ministry of Education defined the ideological and educational content of textbooks and determined control over them. The article focuses on changes in the content definition of the ideological basis of state educational policy, i.e. the ideological direction of the concept and interpretation of the curriculum in textbooks in Czechoslovak history between 1918 and 1960. The analysis of educational documents showed that in the regulations for the content and approval of textbooks, political-social influence is due to (a) ideological conflicts, (b) broader dispute about the social and socio-political direction of society (socialism vs. capitalism), (c) cult of personality, (d) the importance of school education for the individual and the state, and (e) the role of the individual (citizen) for society and the state.
