In the master's thesis, we describe how history lessons are conducted in elementary schools with a lower educational standard. History in elementary school with a lower educational standard is actually part of the social studies subject, which consists of geographical and historical content as well as content from the field of civic culture and ethics. The lower educational standard is attended by pupils who, compared to their peers, have a milder intellectual disability and a different cognitive structure compared to their peers, which is why these pupils have a limited ability to remember information and memory skills. We prepared teaching preparation for the subject of history in a regular elementary school and teaching preparation for social studies in a elementary school with a lower educational standard with the same topic. With the help of interviews with history teachers and special rehabilitation pedagogues, we found that there is a large increase in children in regular elementary schools with decisions, that history teachers are not adequately qualified to work with students with special needs, and that students come to a lower educational standard with increasing disruptions in various areas. We also found that students in social studies are attracted to content that is easier to imagine with the help of pictorial and video material and the use of sensory learning. The growing trend of children with special needs requires history teachers and special rehabilitation pedagogues to include many different learning forms, methods and techniques in teaching, which can occasionally bring a lot of additional work and burden to teachers, but due to the rich professional knowledge and mutual cooperation between teachers, consultative work and parents somehow manage to manage this trend of increasing the number of decisions and increasing deficits and disturbances.
