Summary: | In the present article the author raised the issue of upbringing younger school-age children towards values, their development in different aspects (biological, psychological, sociological, cultural and ideological). Not only the development of different aspects is important but also their integration. The article presents also groups of values connected with individual layers of human development. Hedonistic, vital and material values are connected with the biological layer, cognitive values are connected with the psychological layer, social and moral values – with the social layer, cultural values – with the cultural layer and ultimate values – with the ideological layer. These groups are the basis for the analysis of the contents of the current core curriculum for the first educational stage. With this analysis, the author tried to answer the eponymous question: What chances for upbringing towards values does the current core curriculum create in the light of integral development of younger school-age children?
