Sažetak
This paper presents the result of an initial research aimed at identifying motivation and satisfaction of the Special education program for seafarers attendants which is held at the University of Zadar.
The program has six modules which last a month because of the expectation that that kind of educational system will enable seafarers to attend classes in the period when they are not sailing.
Testing their motivation showed that 33% of seafarers enrolled on employer’s demand, while by the rest of them dominated the motives of personal wishes and new possibilities (wish for a bigger pay, promotion and/or in-service training, achieving new opportunities). The results of the research showed a high level of satisfaction by course’s performance and educational system with six modules which last a month each.
