The article discusses the meaning of history classes in primary and secondary schools and the possibilities of turning history classes into means of developing critical thinking skills among the students. Three main problems of present-day history education are identified in the article: focusing on historical narratives, emphasizing of conflicts in past and creating the image of the glorious past of one’s own nation, which leads to the spreading of stereotypes about the self and the other. The author proposes the idea that history education could be improved by stimulating the students to work individually with the sources, by introducing lessons on historiography and history of ideas into primary and secondary education, and by developing discussions on current social problems and their historical roots within history classes themselves.

The manuscript deals with primary history education as a part of integrated subjects at primary education level (ISCED1) in Slovakia. This level of education requires deeper interest and attention from the perspective of the didactics of history, because it forms the basis for the understanding of historical time. It involves rethinking a set of tasks that stimulate the student to understand time relationships. Later, at the higher level of education, we need the conceptual structure with clear educational aims, towards which the historical content of the primary level of elementary school should be directed.
