Czech curriculum; history teaching; empirical research; interculutral education

This article analyzes the Czech curriculum for secondary education from the perspective of incorporating the intercultural dimension into history teaching. Since 2005 elementary schools, four-year grammar schools, multi-year grammar schools and other secondary schools in the Czech Republic have been gradually implementing the so-called Framework Education Programmes, in accordance with overall curriculum reform. Multicultural education is conceived as a cross-curricular subject which should become part of education across the entire range of subjects. The author cites selected empirical research findings on the multicultural aspects of history education from 2011, as well as the current concept of multicultural education in the history classroom, and formulates recommendations for more effective incorporation of intercultural topics into the curriculum and teaching practice.
