Slovakia 5th Grade Curriculum - Physical Education and Sports

Physical education (PE) is a mandatory subject in Slovakian schools, including the 5th grade, which falls under ISCED level 2 (lower secondary education). Students in this level typically have two mandatory PE classes per week. There may also be an optional third PE class offered by some schools.

While the specific curriculum for 5th grade PE remains elusive, some studies shed light on broader trends and initiatives in physical education within Slovakia. One study investigated the impact of tandem teaching of physical and sports education in primary schools on pupils' motor, cognitive, and emotional development. Another study examined the opinions of primary and secondary school students on physical education classes. Additionally, research has explored the curricular transformation of physical and sport education in Slovakia since 1989. A survey of primary school teachers who teach physical and sports education provided insights into their perspectives on movement games.

The Slovak Ministry of Education oversees the curriculum and educational standards in the country. While detailed information on the 5th-grade PE curriculum was not readily available through online searches, the ministry's website may offer additional resources upon further investigation.
