The project is based on an analysis of problems in school education which were identified by the Czech
educational research in 2001-2008. A number of the problems are related to the quality of curriculum and
instruction. The two concepts are often mentioned in political slogans, however, they have not yet been
established as scientific constructs. The aim of the project is to (1) introduce the concepts quality of
curriculum and instruction as theoretical constructs, (2) develop instruments for their empirical research,
and (3) carry out research studies on quality of curriculum and instruction in different school subjects
(languages, maths and science, social sciences, aesthetics and sport). Three methodological principles are
applied: (A) systematic approach, (B) content-process-oriented approach, (C) connecting the domainspecific
and the domain-general perspectives – quality of curriculum and instruction is primarily
investigated from the point of view of field didactics, but building on cross-curricular comparison, it will
achieve generalizations across the subjects concerned.

Results

were published. In addition to that, 18 conference papers/posters were presented (4 in English and 3 in German), and
various popular and on-line texts published.
