Innovative Methods of Teaching in the Literary Education

In this paper, we present partial results of a research investigation focused on the factors that influence the integration of innovative methods into the teaching of literature education at the lower-secondary school. In the paper we present the results of part of interviews with two groups of respondents - 1st year bachelor’s students and 2nd year master’s students at the Department of Czech Language and Literature at the Faculty of Education, Palacký University in Olomouc. We present interview data on innovative methods. We investigated students´ preconceptions about these methods as well as their knowledge of specific methods and how they learned about them. Our findings point to a certain inadequacy in the disciplinary-didactic preparation of future teachers and to the current state of teaching literature education in primary and secondary schools. The findings correspond with the findings of another research that are carried out in this field. Data collection was done through structured interviews and data analysis was coded according to grounded theory.
