    Jančič Hegediš, Polona, 1982- ; Hus, Vlasta
    Cultural heritage holds significance as both a strategic asset and a valuable investment in social and cultural wealth. Constituting a vital component of a nation's identity, nurturing cultural ... heritage should commence right from an individual's earliest years. This conference submission presents the empirical research conducted among Slovenian primary school teachers at the elementary level. The study aimed to identify how popular cultural heritage content is among teachers and students. Results identify that teachers like to teach cultural heritage content. According to teachers, cultural heritage contents are popular among students. Teachers recognize overcrowded curricula, the lack of students' interest, and the location of an elementary school as significant obstacles to developing a positive and responsible attitude to cultural heritage. The results show that teachers believe that they are sufficiently trained to teach cultural heritage content, but there is still a tendency for additional training. Shorter teacher training courses focused on cultural heritage content lessons should be planned and implemented using modern didactic strategies that encourage students' activity, and they should be based on the constructivist theory of learning and teaching.
