Štěpán Kavan

The goal of this publication is to characterize individual developmental parts of education regarding military education, civil defense and
civil protection on the historic territories of the Czech Republic. The goal is to explain and study military education regarding the safety,
circumstances and conditions of its establishment, the significance and characteristics of specific measures regarding the preparedness of
youth and adults in individual historical periods, and the content of safety education up to the present.
The history of the education in safety has been studied to describe experience and show it to the population that was formed by
such education in individual social developmental periods. This study also reflects the formation of goals, tasks, contents and means of
education in relation to safety. The goal is to point out specific peculiarities in different historical and social periods. We pay particular
attention to the characteristics of the contemporary approach to education regarding safety issues from primary schools to universities
in the Czech Republic and other selected countries. A specific part of this paper is using our study of contemporary approaches to educate
university students in safety issues at Czech universities – who are preparing future teachers.
In this historical study, we study individuals, institutions, communities and activities to exactly and impartially re-enact the past
education in military preparedness, civil defense and protection. The next step is the interpretation of the historical study and the effect
on the present. The result is a panel summary that maps the development of the condition and structure of military education regarding
civil protection in history up to the present.
This paper reflects and presents our definition of safety education, theoretical bases and other headings regarding the protection
of man and society. The used expression for teaching safety issues regarding the protection of man in emergencies (fire protection,
the protection of the population, first aid and health protection, crime prevention, transportation safety and the preparedness of the
population in state protection) is “The protection of man and society”. The Faculty of Education of the University of South Bohemia
documents a case report – suggestions, realizations, evaluations and amendments of structural design of teaching safety issues.
