Educational Process in Terms of Teaching Methods and Organizational Forms in Small Schools

AbstractThe paper is based on the current research project aimed at finding the use of teaching methods and organizational forms in primary education. Small schools are an integral component of the education system with a specific approach to pupils. Specificity is determined by the fact that they are mixed-age classes, which require an individualised and differentiated approach from teachers to individual pupils. Within this approach, teachers use different strategies, organizational forms of work and teaching methods in the teaching. The aim of this paper is to analyse and describe the current situation based on the results of the quantitative survey. The fundamental research method was participant observation. The research sample consists of randomly selected teachers of small schools in the area of East Bohemia. The primary outcome introduced in this paper is to describe the current situation in the Czech Republic on the basis of which further research investigations will be implemented
