In the first part of this article, we will point out some aspects of linking the teaching contents of different subjects in the context of a correlation-integration approach. Special attention will be paid to teaching Physical Education and the World around us/Nature and Society as one of the opportunities for improving the quality of teaching in elementary schools. The second part of this article is methodology. This part of the paper is devoted to the empirical research aimed at examining the attitudes of students-future teachers on the correlation-integration approach of teaching these subjects. The data were collected on-line by an electronic questionnaire and a five-step scale of Likert type, on a sample of 150 students of the Faculty of Education inJagodina in May 2018. The results obtained using simple statistical methods show that students have positive attitudes the importance of innovating the teaching process and recognize opportunities for raising the quality of teaching using a correlation-integration approach. This conclusion points to the conclusion that the correlation-integration approach is a good starting point for improving the work with students of the faculties of education.
