In the socialist period, the national education programme for preschools was highly structured, goal and content-oriented and subject to schoolization. The Curriculum for Preschools (1999) brought conceptual changes towards education “based on the child” and the process approach, as well as giving more autonomy to preschool teachers and their assistants. In the empirical study, we examine changes in planning and evaluating educational work compared to the past. The results show that the majority of professional workers have reduced the high level of structure and rigidity in planning, and that there is better cooperation between preschool teachers and teachers’ assistants. Unlike in the past, most professional workers regularly evaluate their educational work. As the data was gathered in two phases, before and after the training of professional workers in the Reggio Emilia c...

S obzirom na to da se dobna granica u kojoj se djeca i mladi po prvi puta susrecu s drogom pomaknula prema dolje, dakle u razdoblje kada djeca još pohađaju osnovnu školu, provoðenje prevencije proširilo se na tu odgojno- obrazovnu razinu. U ovom tekstu baviti cemo se utjecajem i djelotvornošcu nastave o drogama na sprecavanje upotrebe i zloupotrebe droga meðu djecom i mladeži.For the last 20 years, it is the (secondary) school which has been the central point of education on drugs. However, the age border at which children and youngsters meet drugs for the first time has lowered; down to the period when children still go to primary school. Therefore the activities of prevention of drug use and abuse have expanded considerably also on this educational level. In the paper we shall deal with the influence and efficiency of...

It examines the findings of different research studies undertaken internationally (primarily in the USA and Western Europe) focusing on whether children growing up in rainbow families differ from children growing up in other family forms. The research findings demonstrate that there are no statistically significant differences between children being raised by rainbow families and other family forms with regard to the formation of gender identity, gender roles, emotional and cognitive development, or psychological and behavioural adjustments. However, the health and well-being of children growing up in rainbow families does depend on the (fear of) stigmatization and discrimination against these children in society.

Autorica se bavi pomakom koji se dogodio na podruËju provedbe preventivnih aktivnosti (zlo)uporabe droga posljednjih desetljeÊa. Naime, nezadovoljstvo neuËinkovitoπÊu preventivnih programa na razini osnovne i srednje πkole potaknulo je istraæivaËe s toga podruËja na pomisao da neuspjeπnost programa moæe biti povezana i s Ëinjenicom da se preventivni programi poËinju provoditi prekasno pa zato donju dobnu granicu za poËetak njihove provedbe treba pomaknuti na mlau djecu i njihove roditelje. Autorica prikazuje pristupe na podruËju preventive (zlo)uporabe droga za roditelje djece u predπkolskoj dobi na ameriËkom i europskome podruËju.

The data we gathered are similar to the data of a 1998 study carried out in Northern Ireland, entitled ‘Drugs: what young people know’. In our study, students, teachers, and head teachers state that students acquire most of their knowledge about drug use and abuse in school, especially from teachers and school counsellors. However, a high share of the respondents thought that the emphasis was not strong enough. Almost half of the elementary school teachers in Slovenia (46.5%) believe that individual subject syllabuses do not contain enough goals and didactic recommendations encouraging the consideration of drug issues. In addition, international study results demonstrate that, during their undergraduate education, teachers do not ...

Such evaluation is supposed to be founded on universal norms formulated by experts, with quality being understood as the harmony of the services and practices measured by the norms. Through interpretations which use abstractions, categorizations and schemes, such quality evaluation is thought predominantly to classify and normalize (Dahlberg, Moss, & Pence, 2007). By contrast, preschool quality evaluation ought to build on the analyses and subjective interpretations of the documents that preschool teachers gather through their everyday documentation of the educational process and children’s activities in preschools. It coherently follows the consideration which rejects a curriculum planned and structured in advance, as it is thought to follow goal...
