Summary/Abstract: Correlation, as one of the didactic principles, lends itself to research and scientific reflection in the field of education. This principle also applies to the teaching of religion. The aim of this article is to show the areas, specific school subjects and their content, which are referred to in the most important catechetical documents postulating the principle of correlation. The analysis of this content relates to two educational stages: pre-school teaching and I-IV grades of primary school. First, the concept of correlation itself, and its understanding in pedagogy and catechetics, is defined for a more complete analysis. Second, the functions and dimensions of correlation are demonstrated and are followed by the presentation of the areas and subjects (as well as specific content) indicated in the most recent catechetical documents with respect to the correlation between the teaching of religion and other subjects. Finally, conclusions and recommendations are formulated as a result of the analysis.
