Abstract

The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports in cooperation with expert groups finished the evaluation standards for most educational areas last year. These standards have become a hot topic and are the matter of current discussions of didactic experts as well as the lay public. Our paper deals with a definition of the term “standard” and explains the role of standards in the Czech educational system in the last 20 years. It also reflects the newly developed Chemistry evaluation standard and proposes a format of indicator fact sheets for effective standards processing.
