    (Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Kudláčová, Blanka; Gubricová, Janette; Technická univerzita v Liberci
    The Scout Boys, which had the original name Junák in Czechoslovakia, began official activity on our territory in 1914. Their promisingly developing membership base and attractive activity were disrupted by the events of World War II. Even before the coup in 1948, the Communists began massively building their party structures. One of the goals was to build a single and unified youth organization under the control of the Communist Party. Between 1945 and 1949, they gradually “united” all children’s and youth organizations that resumed their activities after World War II. One of them was Junák, which before the war had the largest membership base in Czechoslovakia and a welldeveloped system of working with children. The goal of our research was to find out how the children’s organization Junák was incorporated into the Czechoslovak Youth Union after the communist coup in 1948 and how its gradual transformation into the children’s Pioneer organization. In our research, we used periodical professional literature and periodical press, archival sources in the Slovak National Archives and the archive of the Slovak Youth Institute (IUVENTA) in Bratislava, as well as unpublished memories of Mr. Jozef Mikloš, chairman of the Historical Commission of Slovak Scouting.

    Ideové východiská pedagogického myslenia na Slovensku v 40. rokoch 20. storočia a ich vyústenie do socialistickej pedagogiky
    (Národní pedagogické muzeum a knihovna J. A. Komenského, ) Kudláčová, Blanka; Technická univerzita v Liberci
    The paper is a historical-educational study that aims to survey changes in conceptual foundations of educational thought in the 1940s and their form at the beginning of Communism. It was a complicated period with several overlapping ideological levels: the ideas of the interwar democratic Czechoslovakia “retired”, the national socialist ideology of the Slovak state was established in the situation of the war, and the Marxist-Leninist ideology, which was fully implemented after the Communist coup in 1948, was being gradually shaped. The change of direction in the educational thought and in its foundations is demonstrated mainly through two leading figures of pedagogy of the given period: Juraj Čečetka (1907–1983), the first Slovak professor of pedagogy and Ondrej Pavlík (1916–1996), the creator of the socialist pedagogy and education. The first part of the paper focuses on a broader socio-political context that suggested changes in ideological orientation of educational thought in the 1940s, the second part of the paper discusses educational thought in the 1950s when only the socialist variant can be considered. The study is based on source literature of both mentioned representatives of the period and on existing research of their work (Krankus, Kudláčová, Faktorová, Valkovičová, Wiesenganger) and life (Mihálechová, Michalička, Londáková).
