Nešto manje od polovine ispitanika šestog (47,78 %) i sedmog razreda (45,56 %) savladava u potpunosti ovu oblast. Najmanji procenat savladanosti sadržaja registrovan je pri rešavanju zahteva iz istorije kod učenika osmog razreda (24,44 %). U radu je načinjen osvrt na mrežu formiranih pojmova u okviru ovog nastavnog predmeta.
