Sažetak
The main objective of this paper was to examine the interests
in acquiring knowledge about certain European values and
the cultural substance of national, ethnic and regional groups of
Istrian secondary-school youth in the Republic of Croatia. The existence
of interest was examined with regard to sex, school success,
the father's degree of education and nationality of the examinees.
763 students of Croatian and Italian secondary schools
from Istria and Rijeka participated in the research. The results obtained
indicated that secondary-school girls were more interested
in knowing certain elements about the cultures of national and
ethnic groups than the boys. This interest was most expressed in
examinees from the Istrian and Kvarnerian area who had the
strongest wish to become acquainted with the cultural customs of
all regional groups in Croatia. Students with higher grades showed
greater interest in "knowing about the others", while those
whose fathers were more educated expressed greater interest in
European values. Members of the Italian and Serbian nationalities
expressed greater interest in the culture of the host nationality,
than the Croats showed for the cultures of other national and
ethnic groups. Members of different nationalities (Croats, Italians,
Serbs) demonstrate a significantly diverse general interest in the
dialects and customs of regional groups in Croatia. Also, there is
a statistically significant difference in the interest manifested for
knowledge about the Catholic, Muslim and Orthodox religion, with
regard to the nationality of the examinee. Examinees of Croatian,
Muslim and Serb nationalities have demonstrated statistically significant
differring interests for understanding the customs of Muslim,
Orthodox and Catholic religions. The greatest difference of interest
in acquiring knowledge about these religions was found between
Muslims and Croats.
