Summary/Abstract: The history of methodical research in teaching of the mother tongue and literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina from 1945 to 1992 can be characterized as a period of the most intensive methodological research. This historical fragment can be divided on the basis of immanent methodological criteria, namely, primarily the years of publication of significant textbooks or books that had a decisive and groundbreaking effect on the development of contemporary methodological thought and the overall teaching of the mother tongue and literature in Bosnia and Herzegovina. In this sense, we can distinguish the following periods in the development of contemporary methodological thought: I (1946–1958) – The period of methodological beginnings: from the first professional seminars to the first textbooks by Bosnian authors; II (1959–1965) – Period of autochthonous Bosnian textbooks, methodological magazines and teaching library editions; III (1966–1992) – The period of culmination of methodological thought in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the flourishing of contemporary methodical literature. The aim of this paper, among other things, is to analyze the most important curricula and programs for teaching the mother tongue and literature in that period, to describe the socio-historical circumstances, as well as to list the most important methodologists of the mother tongue and literature of that time and their publications that had immeasurable importance for the development of methodological thought concerning the mother tongue and literature.
