Abstract
The article deals with Ivan Tomašić´s pedagogical activities in the context of his efforts to reform pedagogy at the beginning of the 20th century, focusing on his study trips across Europe and transfer of pedagogical ideas and movements to the Croatian pedagogical practices. His theoretical and practical knowledge and experiences in the field of pedagogy are enhanced by his interacting with a number of foreign educators, by taking part in lesson observation at their schools and discussions, as well as by studying the current pedagogical literature, which is described in a series of articles published in the journal „Hrvatski učitelj“ („The Croatian Teacher“) entitled „Memories of my travels“ in 1922. The article is highly motivational. It imposes, despite its inevitable subjective perspective, the need for reconsideration of certain common misconceptions and facts on key figures in the history of the Croatian pedagogy.
