The curriculum ideologies are determined as the system of values, beliefs and understanding of a particular society or a social group by means of which the way in which education will be realized and will eventually become. While working on it, what is widely recommended is the ideologically deconstructing model of curriculum trough different dimensions of ideology. The curriculum ideologies research is a common field to both pedagogical research and the research of the sociology of education. Some examples of national curriculum analyses in terms of Serbia`s preschool and primary school education have show a level of curriculum ideological discontinuity between the two levels of education, being at the same time the unsustainable combination of different ideologies, which makes it an incoherent and confusing model of practice in almost every curriculum.
