Domestic science is a school subject that appeared in primary education in 1954 and existed until 1989. The task of this course was acquiring real-life practical habits and skills. The content and structure of the subject, as well as the timetable, have changed throughout history. What remains unchanged is the purpose and goal of this subject. Students needed to be introduced to the modern way of life and work organization. The main objective of this paper is to see to what extent the content of the former subject domestic science is represented in the current textbooks of the subject Science and Society. The second aim of this research was to determine to what extent today’s fourth-grade pupils control the basic knowledge and real-life practical skills that were taught within the framework of domestic science. In order to ascertain whether there is a need for the implementation of domestic science today, a survey of pupils was conducted. Furthermore, the implementation of the plans and course programs of domestic science and their goals and tasks were described. It is shown that domestic science still exists in some schools but is not included in the regular classes, but it is maintained in the form of extracurricular activities. It is important to point out that in all schools the task of this extracurricular activity was to develop students' real-life practical skills that are necessary for their life in the future. The following work methods were used in this paper: archives search, comparative method and a research method (survey).
