Learning does not begin when the child starts going to school, that process begins already from the child's birth. School is an institution where the teaching process takes place, in which both the teachers and students themselves are participants in the process. Since students are the ones who are in position of learning and acquiring new knowledge, it is up to teachers to create and properly direct their teaching to them. The introduction of different teaching strategies and teaching methods into primary education classes significantly contributes to the development of students abilities and skills and creates a positive environment and motivation for further work. A big responsibility in the selection and implementation of strategies and methods lies with the classroom teacher and it is expected to constantly seek new ideas, resources and tools to enhance each lesson. There is no strategy and method to achieve all the goals, because each student is different and learns in a unique way, so it is important to combine strategies and methods for all students to actively participate in the class. The purpose of this diploma thesis was to see through the qualitative method of observation, to what extent and in what way certain strategies and methods are used and results have shown, despite the differences in the selection, that they have not been used to their maximum. Although teaching strategies and methods have changed over the years, most teachers still practice the traditional form of work in which they lead the majority of the lesson.
