Abstract
In the past decades, when the life on the Earth became interrelated and mutually influenced, the education of the citizens of the world has been pushed to the foreground of the priorities pursued by educational objectives. Should the teaching of geography pursue this educational demand? Do our students think in global dimensions? Do they realise that the life on the Earth is interrelated?
Is this knowledge translated into their attitudes and values? The asked questions outline the topic that has become a focus of international research (Béneker et al. 2013). It is the main goal of this paper to highlight the level of Czech students’ world-mindedness as compared to students from selected European countries (the Netherlands, Finland, Germany, Hungary and Serbia).
