How Teachers-to-Be Acquire Skills To Transfer Civic Values to Primary School Contexts

The paper aims at describing how to train teachers’-to-be to acquire skills necessary to transfer civic values to primary school contexts. It addresses the research questions: what groups of values civic values consist of; what activities might be used to train teachers-to-be to transfer these values to primary school contexts; how pedagogical students should be taught to teach civil values. Case study, pedagogical modeling and pedagogical experiment have been applied in the research. Data have been gathered through interviewing school administration, in-service teachers and teachers-to-be. Model of Teaching Skills Acquisition to Transfer Civic Values to primary school contexts (TSATCVmodel) is described. The research results in enlisting activities to facilitate pedagogical training in civic values teaching on the basis of TSATCV-model; showing educators’ opinions of the teachers’-to-be level of skills in transferring civic values to primary school contexts; describing teachers’-to-be attitudes to their training to transfer civic values in primary school contexts .
