| Description | This paper focuses on revising the sources of the past for studying the history of socialist education in Czechoslovakia. The authors asked themselves what sources are available for historian of education, if he decides to examine contemporary history of education. This question is important especially in the context of primary education in the former South Moravian Region in 1969–1989. In the first part of the text, the authors present their scheme of partition of sources. In the following sections, the various types of sources (historical sources, professional publications, auxiliary sources and literature) are discussed in detail and complemented by concrete examples. The paper draws attention to the fact that there is relatively large amount of sources for getting knowledge about the history of socialist education. Unfortunately, sources which are available and acknowledged up until the present cover only some parts of school life and school life actors. On the other hand, there is a lot of scientific literature and research results from other areas of historiography, which may contribute to the understanding of contemporary history of education at both the national and regional level. This means that the historical-educational research can build on the knowledge of other disciplines. |
