Motivation of the pupil and his relation to the subject can significantly affect his results. In technical education, it often happens for pupils that they are not sufficiently motivated to gain knowledge. The reasons may be different − with respect to the real conditions of elementary schools, it may be inappropriate school workshop, insufficient equipment, materials and didactic aids. Last but not the least, one of the reasons can be the competencies of the teachers in technical fields. These facts can ultimately result in insufficient motivation of teachers, which is then transferred to pupils, who are not sufficiently active during the teaching process. This can result in a negative relationship to the subject and low efficiency in gaining new knowledge, skills and knowhow. The paper deals with the experimental part of the research, which focuses on the issue of the relationship of pupils to the subject of practical work. It examines the connection between the inclusion of project methods during teaching and the popularity of technical subjects. In the paper we present basic research objectives, including hypothesis determination. The paper describes experimental research that was carried out at two primary schools. For the experiment the technique of two parallel groups was used, one experimental and the other control. The questionnaire was used as a research tool. There is a description, how the research has been carried out including a timetable and the main conclusions are presented here.
