Abstract

Respected readers,
The International Scientific and Art Conference Contemporary Themes in Education of the Faculty of Teacher Education of the University of Zagreb was held in Zagreb from 15 - 17 November 2019 as the central event of the Faculty’s centennial celebration. It was an opportunity to observe the results of a hundred-year-old dedication of the Faculty to developing interdisciplinary educational sciences, as a scientifically grounded guideline for further achievements and challenges of the new century.
The pronounced need for the improvement of interdisciplinary understanding and scientific insights into the overall complexity of education and associated concepts has borne twelve departments of the Faculty of Teacher Education, which jointly or independently hosted ten symposia at the Conference. They are: Pedagogy and Psychology: From Amending Drawbacks to Enhancing Personal Strengths and Virtues; Bioethics and the Challenges of Contemporary Education; Methodical Approaches to Education; Education and Research in the Croatian Language, Drama and Media Culture; Trends and Challenges in FL Education and Research; The Role and Scope of ICT in Preschool and Primary Education and Teacher Education; New Challenges in Mathematics Teaching; Kinesiological Trends in Education; Research of the Relations in Fine and Visual Arts in Education; The Perspectives of Contemporary Music Education.
Numerous Croatian and international lecturers have contributed to the content and quality of the Conference by presenting about two hundred works in its course, making it exceptionally hard to choose a limited number of prime works for this special issue of the Croatian Journal of Education.
The scientific works published in this issue paint the exceptional diversity and challenges of contemporary education mirrored in the abundance of scientific disciplines from which the authors set out to analyse, problematize and research the themes they are dedicated to. Integrated in this issue, the works and their authors make their mark with the cutting-edge developmental level of educational sciences and open a space for further reflection and design of future scientific research on education.
