J. A. COMENIUS – LEGACY During the 19th century

Czech National Revival, Comenius became idealised as a symbol of the Czech nation. This image persists to the present day.

28 March, the birthday of Comenius, is celebrated as Teachers' Day in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic.

The Comenius Medal, one of UNESCO’s most prestigious awards honouring outstanding achievements in the fields of education research and innovation, is named after him.

THE COMENIUS MEDAL

The Ministry of National Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic and UNESCO established the Jan Amos Comenius Medal in 1992 on the occasion of the 400th anniversary of the birth of the great education.

 

The Medal, one of UNESCO’s most prestigious awards, is intended to acknowledge the work of those educators who have made a significant contribution to the development or renewal of education.

More precisely, it is designed to reward outstanding achievements in the fields of educational research and innovation and exceptional examples of personal devotion to education and the ideals of UNESCO demonstrated throughout an important part of one's life.

J. A. COMENIUS – DIDACTIC THEORIES

The great Italian film director Roberto Rossellini took Comenius, and especially his theory of "direct vision," as his model in the development of his didactic theories, which Rossellini hoped would usher the world into a utopian future.
