Sažetak
For the last 20 years or so, fathers and mothers have been considered as equal
participants in upbringing. The topic of this paper is to investigate the experiences of secondary
school students in Zadar about their father’s involvement in education. 470 students from
the second grades of secondary schools in Zadar County participated in the research. The
questionnaire consisted of 26 closed questions and one open-ended question. The results indicate
that fathers are the most engaged in the issue of child control in the sense of giving warnings,
while they are rarely involved in activities related to help in mastering school material, listening
and understanding the child’s needs. More than half of the fathers never or very rarely attended
parent-teacher meetings, while 71% of them never or very rarely went to individual meetings
with the child’s class teacher. All of this points to the need for the additional sensitization of
society regarding the involvement of the father in the upbringing of the child and support for
fathers in performing their parental role.
