Development of key competences of students in the subject of technology in primary schools

In the first part, the aim of the contribution was to direct the reader's attention to the issue of key competences, to present the basic documents of the governments of the Czech and Slovak Republics. In the second part, the authors focus on the development of key competences in the subject of technology in the 5th-9th grade of primary schools and show examples of pupils' products in the teaching process. The final part presents the procedure for verifying the research instrument in the 1st stage of the research carried out on a narrower sample of respondents. At the same time, I present some principles of the design of the research tool in the context of the upcoming international research on key competences with a focus on the current state and conditions of skill development in the subject Technology from the perspective of elementary school students. The preliminary results of the questionnaire itself brought us some expected results that document the current state of the issue of skill development in the subject of Technology. The conducted research fulfilled the main goal, i.e. the verification of the research tool.
