Abstract:

Framework Education Programme for the field of education 23-41-M/01 Engineering issued by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports was the subject of research on the beginning of 2021 within the project of the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic entitled Education in engineering fields and its optimization for labor market needs. The main researchers are academic staff of the Faculty of Education of the University of Ostrava and the application partner is the National Engineering Cluster (NEC) - its members are also secondary engineering schools and a number of engineering companies. The aim of this paper is to present partial results from the analysis of the curriculum and the analysis of the educational conditions of secondary schools of engineering. The analysis of curricular documents aimed to collect and process qualified opinions of teachers of this field on the educational areas listed in the FEP, specifically on: opinion on the benefit of educational areas to achieving two professional qualifications according to NEC, their benefit to possible further studies at high schools and universities; the knowledge and skills of graduates, which are required by engineering practice; finding out the popularity of educational areas from the students point of view. Analysis of educational conditions focused on e.g. digital technologies equipment, personal, financial or legislative conditions was also performed and described in this paper.
