U radu ćemo predstaviti karakteristike nastave retorike kao obaveznog izbornog predmeta u devetom
razredu osnovne škole u Sloveniji. Ovaj predmet predstavlja jedinstveni obrazovni element jer u
drugim evropskim obrazovnim sistemima (kao ni i drugde u svetu) nisu na osnovnoškolskom nivou
upoznati s nezavisnim predmetom koji bi učenike sistematski učio principima uspešnog ubeđivanja
sagovornika. Nakon kratkog predstavljanja okolnosti uvođenja predmeta retorike u školski program
slovenačkih osnovnih škola, predstavićemo njegove pedagoške karakteristike i ukazaćemo na neke
specifičnosti njegovog praktičnog sprovođenja od 1999. godine do danas. Glavni fokus u drugom
delu našeg rada biće predstavljanje rezultata projekta „Razvoj teorijskih osnova i praktičnih smernica
za nastavu retorike u osnovnoj i srednjoj školi” koji se od 2018. godine realizuje u Pedagoškom
institutu u Ljubljani. Prikazaćemo osnovne (sadržajne i didaktičke) pravce razvoja nove verzije
nastavnog plana i programa za nastavu retorike u osnovnoj školi. Ovim nastojimo da pokažemo
kako retorika, kao sastavni deo osnovnog obrazovanja, ne predstavlja dodatni balast ili teret, već
da, upravo zbog svojih jedinstvenih (tj. klasičnih) karakteristika, omogućava kritički osvrt na znanje i
podstiče demokratske procese u školskoj sredini, što predstavlja jedan od ključnih elemenata razvoja
učeničkih kompetencija za efikasno učešće u savremenim demokratskim kulturama.In the paper, we shall present the characteristics of teaching rhetoric as a compulsory elective subject
in the ninth grade of elementary school in Slovenia. It represents a unique education feature, since
in other European educational systems (as well as elsewhere in the world) at elementary level they
are not familiar with an independent subject where pupils could systematically learn the principles
of successful public persuasion. After a brief presentation of the circumstances surrounding the
placement of the subject of rhetoric in the Slovenian elementary school curriculum, we shall outline
its pedagogical characteristics and present some particularities of its practical carrying out from 1999
to the present day. The main focus in the second part of our paper shall be the presentation of the
results of the project “Developing of theoretical bases and practical guidelines for teaching rhetoric in
the primary and secondary school” which has been taking part at the Educational Research Institute
Slovenia from 2018. We will demonstrate the main (content and didactic) directions of developing a
new version of the curriculum for teaching rhetoric in the primary school, thus trying to show that
rhetoric, seen as an integral part of the elementary education, does not represent an additional ballast
or burden. On the contrary, precisely because of its unique (i.e. classical) features, it enables a critical
reflection of knowledge and promotes democratic processes within the school environment, which
represent one of the key elements in development of student competences for effective participation
in modern democratic cultures.Zbornik rezimea / 24. Međunarodna naučna konferencija "Pedagoška istraživanja i
