Abstract

UDK 37.015:503/504

The aim of this research is to analyse the prospects for presenting ecological content using a study of the contents of textbooks for Religious Studies keeping in mind explicit, implicit and declarative character of the same. We started this research with the premise that the results will show that the content of ecology in primary school textbooks for Religious Studies, with regards to its presentation is equally explicit, implicit and declarative. Methods of theoretical analysis and the content analysis are the research methods used in this study. The results show sufficiently equal representation of explicit, implicit and declarative form of presentation of ecology contents in Religious Studies textbooks for lower grades of primary school, whereas we found that ecology content is entirely non-present in its explicit, implicit or declarative form in Religious Studies textbooks for higher grades of primary schools.
