Interdisciplinary efforts and interconnectedness, where philosophical, pedagogical, social, natural sciences, artistic and other disciplines find their home rights, open a new horizon of orientation towards the service of the human being (child, parent, colleague,...).
The conceived field of study is in line with the current trend in Europe, the aim of which is to create a prerequisite for obtaining qualifications for professional-methodological work necessary for the organization and management of education at the 1st level of primary school. This study programme has the content to improve the quality of teacher training for primary education. The training thus provided, which includes theoretical knowledge, practical skills and additional knowledge based on knowledge and understanding of the socialisation and educational process, mastery of the psychological interpretation of children's development and education, and knowledge, organisation and management of the pedagogical process at the level of the relevant community, is considered to be a good starting point for the further pedagogical work of future primary education teachers. This study programme also has the ambition and prerequisites to motivate its participants or graduates for further studies in the field of scientific and research activities provided by the third level of higher education.
