ROUND TABLE "CURRICULUMS OF TEACHING SUBJECTS IN ZDK - IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES" WAS HELD AT THE FACULTY OF PHILOSOPHY

On Wednesday, May 17, 2023, the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zenica hosted a round table on the topic "Curriculum of teaching subjects in ZDK - challenges of implementation", which was organized in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of ZDK and Pedagogical institute Zenica. Expert advisors from the Zenica Pedagogical Institute, school principals, trade union representatives, and teachers, professors from primary and secondary schools in the Zenica-Doboj canton participated in the work of the Round Table.

The Faculty of Philosophy was directly involved in the process of creating subject curricula through the involvement of our professors in the work of subject working groups. Recognizing the importance of changing the paradigm of teaching and learning in primary and secondary schools in the context of the times in which we live, the teacher study programs of the Faculty of Philosophy have adapted their curricula to prepare future teachers for the new school concept. Such innovative curricula and programs are fully adapted to the transfer of knowledge and the development of skills and competencies of our students, future professors for work based on the curriculum.

By creating the curriculum of teaching subjects for elementary schools and high schools, a significant step forward was made in changing the paradigm of learning and teaching with the aim of providing better quality education to our students. The idea of the curriculum is based precisely on the reduction of the number of contents at the expense of a deep understanding of the fundamental assumptions of certain scientific areas represented through different teaching subjects. Such an understanding creates the prerequisites for building complete personalities with a wide range of general knowledge ready to tackle all the information that surrounds them and comes in contact with.

The curriculum certainly represents a path to better and higher quality education. On this path, it is necessary to provide maximum support to all teachers, professors, so that they can put the noble vocation of teaching at the service of imparting knowledge and developing skills and competencies in their students in a complex and demanding educational educational process.
