Abstract
This article presents results of the comparative analysis of history
curricula of some European countries: England, Scotland, Ireland, Norway,
Sweden, Finland, Germany, Netherlands, Austria, Hungary and Slovenia. The
analysis particularly deals with the position of history teaching in the compulsory
education of these countries. Another focus is on how the aims and goals of history
teaching, as well as attainment targets, are presented. In the last chapter, the
European experiences are compared with the Croatian situation. Authors stress
the importance of defi ning aims and attainment targets in most analyzed curricula
versus the Croatian practice of defi ning obligatory topics and detailed description
of the prescribed content.
