Sažetak
This paper aims to provide a historical overview of teacher education in Croatia. In the observed period, Croatia is divided into four kingdoms and for the purpose of this paper, the territories of Slavonia and Military Frontier are used. In this period, the interest for education of sons from civil, rural and local intellectuals’ families significantly increases while simultaneously it decreases among noble families. Due to no legal obligation for schooling, the level of literacy is not satisfactory. In the early 18th century, some schools are entirely governed by Christian priests and monks. Training of teachers among civilians begins in the second half of the 18th and the early 19th century. The training begins with pedagogical training abroad followed by additional pedagogical training in lower and higher level courses for teacher candidates and serving teachers. Pedagogical education in Croatia is intensified after 1820 when young men go to Vienna, Graz and Ljubljana and take three-month courses for teachers. Upon their arrival, pedagogical courses are offered in Croatia. Serving teachers who did not complete these course are obliged to take them during school holidays. The analysis of the available historical pedagogical literature and documentation points to the beginnings of pedagogical education starting with attending short pedagogical courses abroad. Furthermore, the analysis provides a reconstruction of the areas participants major in. Opening teacher schools in Croatia initiates teacher education there. First pedagogical courses last for three, six, nine months, one and two years all of which result in opening independent teacher training schools.
