Abstract

The aim of the paper was to discuss teaching in combined classes. The article deals with teaching management in such classes with all its peculiarities. Several methodical and didactic solutions in teaching combined classes were commented as well as arranging and furnishing classrooms. The focus was given to the independent work of pupils, planning and implementation of teaching activities in
a combined class. A good choice of teaching strategies is a precondition for encouraging creativity in the teaching process. The important task for a teacher is development and stimulation of creativity precisely by means of different techniques. Teacher’s activities should aim to develop pupils’ creative potential. The paper
should be a call for current and future teachers to try to think in a different way about the teaching process and to apply creative teaching methods in their work. Based on the example from school practice, I have shown that creative teaching in combined classes can satisfy developmental and all other needs of pupils in the first four classes of elementary school.
