Krajevna središča v Pre- kmurju so bila tako hkrati cerkvena in tudi šolska središča. V kolikšni meri so šole zares delovale in kakšen je bil pravzaprav sam šolski proces, je težko ugotoviti, saj ohranjeni in do- stopni viri s tovrstnimi podatki niso bogati. Pa vendarle lahko izluščimo drobce, ki osvetlju- jejo vlogo učitelja v tedanjem izobraževalnem procesu, katere predmete so poučevali, v kate- rem jeziku in ne nazadnje, kaj so bili ti učitelji po izobrazbi in kakšne narodnosti. Nikakor pa delo učiteljev ni primerljivo z današnjo vlogo učitelja, kajti le redko so imeli urejene šolske prostore, poleg tega so pogosto delovali še v vlogi cerkovnika, kantorja, organista in opra- vljali druga potrebna opravila. Ključne besede: dolnje Prekmurje, 17. in 18. stoletje, učitelji in njihove ka- rakteristike, vloge učiteljev, poučevanje Key words : lower Prekmurje, 17 th and 18 th centuries, teachers and their cha- racteristics, role of teachers, teaching Abstract The people of Prekmurje did not have their own religious and educational centre, since they did not have a diocese or any other important cultural centres. The main settle- ments in Prekmurje were thus also church and school centres. It is difficult to ascertain to what extent schools were truly active and what the educational process was like, since the available preserved sources contain little information on this. But fragments can still be found, which throw light on the role of teachers in the then educational process, which sub- jects were taught and in which language and, last but not least, what was the educational and ethnic background of these teachers. One thing is certain – their work is not compara- ble to today’s role of teachers, since suitable school premises were a rarity and teachers of- ten also worked as sextons, cantors, organists and in other necessary jobs. * dr.
