Abstract

This paper analyses basic causes of the contemporary unfavourable state of integrated instruction at our basic schools. The analysis of these problems proceeds from the historical development of integrated instruction in the Czech countries and involves also the actual problems that are linked with the search for a new paradigm of science education. Predominantly,the paper focuses on the pregradual and postgradual training of the teachers,who teach science subjects. Possible proposals of a solution in this area are proceeded from a questionnaire survey carried out in 2010.
