Studentska vizija budućnosti školskoga predmeta povijest

Abstract

History as a school subject has long struggled with a fundamental question – what is its role in education and what is its future. Historians are mostly focused on studying the past without regular analyzes of the state of subjects in schools. Debates on History in schools are left to the public and often to politicians. Since the establishment of independence in Croatia, three reforms of compulsory (primary) education have been implemented, which as a result did not bring a change in the teaching paradigm, but only added new content to the small teaching schedule. The paradigm shift has actually happened in information sources – the digital multimedia world is slowly taking over the central role of information sources from the hands of teachers, textbooks and other educational materials. In this research conducted on students of Croatian and Hungarian higher education institutions, we analyze the attitudes that shape the scenario of teaching history in 2031.
