Abstract

Contemporary way of lifing offers many information’s and facts that require skills and competences that previously were not needed. Therefore, there is an urgent need for changes within the educational system that will facilitate the adjustment toward the requirements of modern society. That process can be facilitated by the teacher itself by supporting students for active learning, learning through experience, use of new forms, strategies, and methods of work and especially by supporting intercorrelation between educational contents.
Correlation between subjects in frames of one subject, but also intrasubject relations requires knowledge from teachers for contents and goals from both subjects, but also a motivation to do this in. This also reflects to deeper understanding of teaching content, applied teaching strategies and affects students’ achievements.
During the teaching process, this can be easily achieved by using the approach of integration and correlation that allows creation of content and functional relation between current knowledge and the new knowledge, to foster critical thinking, to achieve long – lasting knowledge and ability efficiently to apply those knowledges and skills in everyday living.
For the needs of our study, we made analyses of the current study plans and programs used in first cycle of studies (first three grades from 1st to 3th grade) in primary education in Macedonia, particular to study programs in Mathematics and Physical and health education. Our aim is to identify the possibilities for establishing integration and correlation model in elementary stage of primary school level and benefits from its implementation at mathematics and Physical and health education. Following criteria were identified as basic elements for analyses: the number of classes for each subject, identifying the common standards and common goals for the subjects physical and health education and mathematics, analysis of the thematic units and the planned contents and activities, suggested methods and strategies for work etc.
Following the analyses, many possibilities for inter- subjects’ relations were identified. These possibilities were identified within the standards, goals and also, within suggested subject contents. Applying this model in practice would also means a greater preparedness of teachers to improve their competences with aim to foster the quality of their teaching and outcomes from the teaching as well, manifested in the knowledge and behavior of the students.
