Establishing continuity at the initial levels of the education system

Abstract

Some of the imperatives of the modern education are to establish continuity at the initial levels of the education system and a solid and functional relationship between preschool and school education. The purpose of this paper is to identify estimates made by the teachers of preschool children and younger school children about the solutions regarding establishing continuity between preschool and school education. The research included 244 examinees. Gathered results showed that examinees estimate the offered solutions as important and also that there were no significant differences in their estimates with regard to certain social and demographic characteristics. Work experience in elementary school education proved as a variable that influences the teachers’ estimates about the given solutions.
