INTRODUCTION 1.1. Reasons for starting the study programme The Department of Teacher Education educates primary education teachers who are the foundation of compulsory primary school education in the Republic of Croatia. Due to their all-encompassing education in humanities and social and natural sciences, primary education teachers can be described as interdisciplinary and versatile experts who work in educational institutions and in many other areas of human activity. The proposal for organization and implementation of the study programme Teacher Education is a result of the objective social (cultural, political and economic) needs. The programme has been designed and the number of students determined based on the analysis of the current state in the Croatian educational system and its developmental perspective. The organization of the current study programme is based on the following facts: - primary education is compulsory for all children from the age of six to the age of fifteen (Law on Primary Education, Art. 3, NN 69/03); - the primary school has been divided into two cycles: lower primary and upper primary; - lower primary teaching in the Republic of Croatia (from 1st through 4th grade) has been organized following the principle of one teacher-one class (Law on Primary Education, Art. 33) - only a person with an adequate university degree can work as a lower primary teacher (Law on Primary Education, Art. 71); - teacher education departments remain constituent parts of universities - a general consensus in the academic community and the intention of the Croatian educational policy is to organize teacher education study programmes as university study programmes thus achieving the desired “harmonization with the European educational area” (Law on Scientific Activity and Higher Education, Art. 69, NN 94/13). The Department of Teacher Education, University of Split, has a large “gravitation area” including both students coming to study in Split and available jobs. This area primarily covers Split- Dalmatia County, Dubrovnik-Neretva County and a larger part of Šibenik-Knin County. A significant number of students come from the neighbouring country, Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as from other parts of Croatia. The table shows the number of primary education teachers in the aforementioned counties: County Number of primary education teachers Split-Dalmatia County 960 Dubrovnik-Neretva County 260 Integrated undergraduate and graduate study programme Teacher Education 3 Šibenik-Knin county 250 TOTAL: 1470 Based on the previously mentioned data, an estimate of the minimum number of new primary education teachers in the aforementioned areas is approximately sixty (60) per year. However, due to the large number of primary education teachers registered at the Croatian Employment Service, enrolment quota has been lowered to forty five (45) since 2008. Excellent preparation of primary education teachers opens up numerous possibilities for their employment with regard to the labour market needs in the local communities, both in public and private sector. The study programme is based on the official lower primary school curriculum (1st to 4th grade) and on the general competencies required by contemporary education. The study programme is compatible with all the requirements of the Bologna process which greatly facilitates studying and allows continuous development and progress of our students. In addition to fundamental teacher education courses, students choose one of the three modules which allows them to gain additional competencies. Modules have been defined according to the needs of contemporary education. In addition to traditional subjects, a foreign language has become a part of compulsory early education. It is expected that Computer Science will become compulsory in the near future too. 1.2. Relationship with the local community (economy, entrepreneurship, civil society, etc.) The Department of Teacher Education educates masters of primary education who cover the labour market needs in the local community and wider area. They are primarily employed in primary schools where they teach in lower primary classes but also cover the needs of subject teaching, especially in the fields of foreign language teaching and computer science, and other subjects lacking qualified teachers. Graduates who have completed the module in early foreign language learning are completely prepared to teach a foreign language in lower primary school. Masters of primary education who have completed the module in information and communications technology are competent at using and developing information technology and teaching computer science to learners. In addition to schools, lower primary school teachers are often employed in children's homes, homes for children with difficulties, in playgroups, museum workshops, libraries and many other cultural and educational institutions. Our graduates often work for publishing houses either as authors, reviewers, collaborators or employees. 1.3. Compatibility with requirements of professional organizations 1.4. Partners outside the higher education system Partners of the Department of Teacher Education are mainly primary schools who employ lower primary school teachers. Primary schools often serve as training facilities for future Integrated undergraduate and graduate study programme Teacher Education 4 teachers for the benefit of schools, students, teachers and pupils. Students bring contemporary and creative ideas, knowledge, methods, aids and materials to the schools. Teachers- practitioners introduce the students to the reality of educational process, show them pedagogical documentation and the basics of regular, additional and remedial teaching. Croatian Education and Teacher Training Agency is also a partner. This agency closely cooperates with the Faculty, especially by involving methodologists working at the Department into teacher training and employing them in advisory roles and as members of the qualifying exam examination boards. Partners are also those institutions and individuals who are directly or indirectly involved into lower primary school education. They include Government agencies, different national authorities and offices, non-government organizations (parents and teachers associations), cultural institutions (museums, youth theatres), publishing houses etc. All these instances can be partners in the realization of this study programme. 1.5. Financing Ministry of Science, Education, and Sport (national budget). 1.6. Comparability of the study programme with other accredited programmes in higher education institutions in the Republic of Croatia and EU countries 1. Univerza v Ljubljani, Pedagoška fakulteta (http://www.pef.uni-lj.si/169.html) The study programme Primary Teacher Education is designed to take into account the fundamental principles of the European higher education sphere, as formed in the Bologna process. The completion of the first cycle enables entry both to work (employment) and to further study. This programme is a first cycle programme and therefore does not enable the independent undertaking of professional work in education. Information about the study programme Name: PRIMARY TEACHER EDUCATION Type: first cycle university study programme (UN) Duration: 4 years Number of ECTS: 240 Professional Title of the Graduates: Professor of Primary Teacher Education (UN) Integrated undergraduate and graduate study programme Teacher Education 5 Following the first cycle, students can enrol in one of the second cycle programmes lasting for two years: Second cycle study programmes: Arts Therapy Computer Science Education Supervision, Personal and Organisational Counselling Preschool Education Museum Education Cognitive Science Education Policy Inclusive Education 2. Fakultet za odgojne i obrazovne znanosti (http://wt.foozos.hr/) Teacher Education study programme, University of Osijek, is similar to the present study programme with regards to its structure and content. It is an integrated undergraduate and graduate study programme lasting 5 years, 300 ECTS, aimed at educating a competent teacher of lower primary classes with additional competencies depending on the chosen elective module. After the first semester, the students choose between the following elective modules: a) Module

The essay does not pertain to entire Croatian literary heritage, but only to the part created on the historical Croatian territory and created by the Croats. Namely, with regard to its origins, the Croatian literary heritage can be divided into three big groups.

  • A Historical Geographical Analysis of the Development of the Croatian-Hungarian Border
    2014/IV. pp. 75-92. ISSN: 2062-1655 Tvrtko Josip Čelan A Historical Geographical Analysis of the Development of the Croatian-Hungarian Border ABSTRACT This paper analyses the Croatian-Hungarian boundary and state border features and gives an overview of development stages of boundary/border through the history, including Croatian accession to the European Union (EU) in 2013. The aim of this work is to define if antecedent changes have had positive impact on the Croatian-Hungarian border area. I will examine the historical geographical background of the Mura-Drava boundary/border. Next to considering all relevant European and wider literature I will compare and if necessary confront Croatian and Hungarian scientific resources. Special focus will be on assessing the role and importance of the common border and its modifications in the past, with reflection on the current period when the Republic of Croatia is an EU Member State, aiming to join soon the Schengen Area. Although the changes in Europe have been very intensive in the last twenty-five years, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to biggest ever EU enlargement process (2004-2007), the favourable historical circumstances have not been utilised in the Croatian-Hungarian border strip. This area is still suffering from large geographical handicap, presenting strong language and transport barriers. The border zone remained a strong periphery compared to the two capitals (Zagreb, Budapest) of significantly centralised states Croatia and Hungary. Keywords: Croatian-Hungarian boundary, 900 years of joint history, old European border, geographical handicap, language and transport barriers, cross-border area, European Union. IntroDuction “Boundaries are conceived of as lines separating entities from each other.

It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.
