摘要:AbstractThe subject Environmental studies appeared in the programme of the nine-year primary school system in the Republic of Slovenia with the curricular reform at the end of the 20th century. It succeeded the subject Natural and social studies which was taught as an independent subject at primary school level from 1957. The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate the characteristic of the new curriculum for the subject Environmental studies. It is possible to conclude that the curriculum for Environmental studies is designed very “openly”, is realisable and requires well trained teachers.
