I.IV Attitude of Slovak universities to extra-curriclar 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

Page 19: COMENIUS PROJECT November 2006. Topics I. Extra-curricular activities II. Activities included into curricula

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

Page 20: COMENIUS PROJECT November 2006. Topics I. Extra-curricular activities II. Activities included into curricula

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
