Younger School Age Pupils and Their Perception of Personal and Social Development in the Context of Extracurricular Activities

Abstract

The aim of this study is to introduce the topic of the Personal and Social Development as part of the educational programs in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic. We studied this theme as a part of an extracurricular education. In comparison to foreign education programs, the Slovak and Czech education programs include fewer topics.
In our research, we focused on how pupils in Slovakia in their hobby groups perceived the selected topics of the cross-sectional theme of Personal and Social Development, how the topics were understood and how this theme was reflected in their behavior.
