Sažetak
During the school year 2012-2013 two experimental programs were introduced by the Croatian Ministry of education, science and sports into the Croatian educational system. One program is the Health education, introduced in all elementary and high schools in Croatia. The other one, in some chosen elementary and high schools, is the program of Civic education and training. Since both curricula will be in an experimental phase during the next two years, the author of the article analyses the curriculum of the Civic education starting from structural dimensions, relating to the anthropological foundations of the modules in respect to the issues of sex (gender) equality and of the development of identity and interculturality.
The civic education, as conceived by the contemporary theory of education, is subject to several controversies, foremost within political theory, sociology and philosophy of education. Therefore, the author questions chosen pedagogical and anthropological issues, contextualizing the answer in the proposed outcomes of the curriculum. No curriculum is neutral from the standpoint of value system, hence the curriculum of civil training and education is not neutral too. Therefore, the author rightfully presents the arguments revealing the ideologies hidden behind this curriculum.
