The aim of this contribution is to assess selected aspects of the development of early childhood education and primary education in the Slovak Republic (SR) during the last twenty years in the context of the process of the transformation of the Slovak education system. Our aim is to emphasise: 1. The formation of a legislative framework for education reforms in SR; and 2. the development of a curriculum for early childhood and primary education. The contribution outlines various mechanisms for curricular transformation which are dependent on mutual configurations and the characteristic components of this difficult process. In the contribution we name the basic factors determining the conditions for the preparation, the implementation process and the assessment of results of education reform in early childhood and primary education. At the end of the article we offer suggestions which we feel could lead to the successful modification or further implementation of education reform in the Slovak Republic.

The topic of the study consists in the analysis of the „story“ of the Czech curricular reform based on the comparison of its concepts and logic with the results of educational and psychological research in teaching and learning. The first part attempts to prove that the failure of the reform mostly rejected by teachers doesn’t consist in the lack of communication with them. The following part reveals the old tension between thinking/student oriented vs. subject oriented teaching behind current reform clichés. As the core and the symbol of the curricular reform, the notion of competence is critically analyzed: it is a bad answer, because it is not research evidence-based, to a good question. The last part deals with three issues from psychological research the results of which the reform largely ignored: (1) predominant focus on problem solving ignoring the results of research on the relationship between working memory and long-term memory and in the cognitiveload theory, (2) stress on the transversal competences as the goal of teaching ignoring the narrow and strong link of the thinking skills with the specific object of thinking and its epistemological constraints, and (3) challenging the belief the (far) transfer could play the role of the criterion of the learning effectiveness. Thus, the curricular reform was more ideology-driven than evidence-based.

A major educational reform of the primary and lower secondary schools started in the Czech Republic in 2007. Shortly after the launch of the reform, we studied the actual picture of teaching, learning, and instructional leadership in one Czech comprehensive school, using the design research of a case study. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used to describe the educational processes in the school – predominantly questioning, observation, and documentary analysis. Using qualitative data analysis we have sketched a narrative that highlights the role of structural factors – the small size of the school, the co-existence of primary and lower secondary schools within one organisation, as well as its unique history. The research results describe a case of schooling at the very beginning of educational reform, and guide the design of our next case studies of schools.
