Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to research the positioning of dance in the curricula of the nine-years primary schools, the four-years secondary schools and high education concretely Faculty of Physical Education in N. Macedonia. Method of work: The Examination, analytical and the review methods where used. Results and Discussion: From the inspection and analysis of the curricula we can finally say that there is no logical and functional connection of the curricula because no concrete teaching units are given but more general ones. Therefore, for the curricula to be logically and functionally related, the learning units must be planned depending on the age of the students, the load of the dances and the purpose of the dances. Conclusion and recommendations: Based on the obtained results we can conclude that the curricula of all educational levels need modification and adaptation based on contemporary requirements. Therefore, we recommend that for the compilation of curricula as successful and effective as possible, it is necessary to have cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience between educational institutions such as the Ministry of Education and Science, Bureau for Development of Education, Secondary and Primary schools as well as High education specifically the Faculty of Physical Education responsible for the preparation of the physical education teachers in N. Macedonia.
