Abstract

The article defines the components of elementary education in Germany considering the specifics of training in modern German school. The challenge for changes in Ukrainian education is the fact that today, unfortunately, the elementary school has become inefficient in comparison with European primary education. To keep up with times, it is necessary to change approaches and the format of training. All this is rises our interest for achievements of foreign scholars. The research is devoted to the problems of implementation of content of education in elementary schools in Germany, where the main purpose of training is the development of students’ communication skills. Thus, we see that in the process of studying the peculiarities of the content of elementary school education, an important role is played by increase in the educational time and redistribution of time for learning individual subjects and topics, as well as the broadening the curricula through new material, developing differentiation of tasks, taking into account the emotional and social stability of a child, providing comprehensive development of the personality, focusing on the development of thinking and cognitive abilities of students during the modernization of curricula, programs and textbooks, expanding the scope of the optional subjects. It is obvious that many problems of specific elementary school content of education also require further resolution in Germany. However, the experience of German primary education is of increasing interest in Europe. As for Ukraine, free access to information will allow domestic scientists to carry out an effective comparative analysis, identify those forms and methods that are appropriate to use in the national school environment. Practical value of the work is determined by the fact that the worked out material, the statements and conclusions will facilitate sharing the pedagogical experience. They can be used for writing textbooks and methodic guidances, in the practical activity of elementary school teachers. Key words: content of education, curriculum, foreign language, elementary school, Germany.
