I.IV Attitude of Slovak universities to extracurriclar activities
• Most of universities do not pay attention to these
activities, students are even told not to mention
these activities in their application form
• Only at one faculty – Philosophical Faculty of
Comenius university – journalistic and marketing
communication – only own literar works
I.V Attitude of Slovak school system to these
activities
• In Slovakia these activities are not a part of curricula,
students do them in their free time
• Advantages – only when these activities are supported by
teacher
• Many problems:
•
•
•
•
Lack of tolerance from teachers
Lack of finance
They are not able to synchronize their work with school
Uninterest and uncooperation of their school-mates
• Students are not lead to „project thinking“, they are not
creative and cannot improvise; his can cause problems in
their future study at univerity
Our vision how o improve this:
• Teachers have to understand that these activities are not a
way hoe to play truant, they are many times much more
exhausting than study itself
• Students need to be motivated as well, projects give them
useful experience
• Propagation of projects
• Teacher who takes care about the activity is very important
• Support of school
• There should be some activities in every subject, so that
students would be able to choose which one(s) they want to
work at
• Education from young age
• Acceptation of achievments of students at universities
