Abstract:
As educators and connoisseurs of the school system, we often wonder about the meaningfulness of the goals set within an individual formal education. Are these goals, which are related to individual learning content, really the essence and the main guide of the learning process? In any case, for their realization, it is necessary to present and explain the learning content in a quality way by the person who also leads this learning process. The fact is that the presentation of content in individual subject areas has lately not been so rigid and limited anymore. Learning contents are intertwined between individual subjects, as in the world, at different levels, there is a growing tendency towards the interdisciplinarity of different areas. This is all the more pronounced in careers where employers seek the breadth of knowledge and versatility of future employees. Therefore, in primary school education as well, there should be increasing interdisciplinary connections and the search for a breadth of knowledge among students as well. Better than setting high and almost unrealistic goals within the standards of knowledge of an individual subject, it would be necessary to find ways to know the basic knowledge acquired in a particular subject, connect with another subject area and thus further strengthen the understanding of the learning content. In this paper, I present some interdisciplinary links with the subject of fine arts and other subject areas in primary education.
