Abstract

There is a growing public awareness, especially in political and academic circles, of the need for a knowledge society in Europe as an irreplaceable factor of social and human development. Such a society would enrich and strengthen the link between Europe and its citizens but would also enable the continent to adequately prepare its citizens for the challenges of the new millennium and raise the awareness of common values and belonging to the same social and cultural area. In a changing world there is a constant need to adjust higher education systems in order to enhance the competitiveness of the European area and enable it to respond effectively to the challenges of globalisation. In its endeavours to draw nearer to the developed countries of Western Europe through the processes of European integrations and the general process of globalisation, Croatia, as a transitional country, faces significant difficulties with education system reforms and the reforms of the teacher training subsystem, especially when it comes to their content, the way they are implemented or the dynamics of their implementation. The paper tries to help us find the way to follow integration and globalisation processes while safeguarding our own traditional, national and other idiosyncrasies and values, especially when faced with a highly developed concept of European professionalism in teaching, made manifest in teacher training and development.
