Abstract

This article focuses on the innovative curricular concept of the educational area Man and the World of Work in primary education in the context of the ongoing curricular reform in the Slovak Republic. We pay attention to the concept of the educational area, its goals, and structure based on the integration of three interconnected components: technology, career education, and entrepreneurship and initiative. We analyze the new content of the technology component with a focus on developing students' technical literacy through activity- and experience-oriented teaching. The article also includes specific examples of the work of teachers and students in individual educational cycles, which illustrate the possibilities for the practical implementation of content and performance standards in educational practice.
