Abstract
The paper analyses two concepts of art history textbooks for secondary schools. It discusses their role in the learning and teaching process of art history and related school subjects within the formal educational programmes in Slovenia and their didactic structure. The comparison between one Slovenian and two Polish textbooks might contribute to better understanding of the present situation regarding art history textbook production in Slovenia, which is a result of several factors: the historical continuity of textbook writing and research in textbook didactics, the current school policy and fi nancial competition on the textbook market. Its intention is also to clarify the idea of didactic transformation of the art history contents from the challenging scientifi c texts to a form suitable for secondary school students who are textbooks’ main target audience.
Highlights
The course of formal education is basically deÞned as a process dealing with two parallel and inseparable activities: evolving one’s capabilities and at the same time acquainting oneself with known facts and theoretical as well as practical achievements of different disciplines
Polish high school students have a better selection of printed art history textbooks, so we have deliberately focused on Jolanta Gumula’s In this Whole Art (W tym caãa sztuka, edition from 2009) and Beata Marcinkowska & Lidia Frydzięska-ģwiĈtczak’s The Land of Art (Kraina sztuki, edition from 2010)
The current situation of art history in Slovenia regarding its position in the formal educational system confronts the rapid enforcement of the new visual media and communication technology
Summary
The course of formal education is basically deÞned as a process dealing with two parallel and inseparable activities: evolving one’s capabilities and at the same time acquainting oneself with known facts and theoretical as well as practical achievements of different disciplines. The paper discusses the position of art history textbooks for secondary schools in Slovenia as a result of the past and present social situations.
