Апстракт

Abstract

The changes that have occurred in the field of education are a consequence of the criticism it faced because of its separation from life and society, and of the demonstrated needs for the school to become as welcoming and accessible as possible and more connected with the social environment. That connection can be best realized through educational excursions. However, they have still been insufficiently studied in our country despite their role and importance for the students themselves.

In this paper, first of all the issues related to the educational value, curriculum positioning and organization of excursions in primary schools have been theoretically elaborated. Secondly, empiric insights obtained by a survey conducted with students and teachers in primary education have been presented and analyzed. The results obtained generally indicate that both the teachers and the students think that excursions are beneficial forte the realization of the educational process within the school and their opinion on the realization of excursions so far is positive.
