TEACHER EDUCATION WITHIN SLOVENIAN AND CROATIAN REGIONS FROM 1867 TO 1914
TEACHER EDUCATION WITHIN SLOVENIAN AND CROATIAN REGIONS FROM 1867 TO 1914

Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the education of primary school teachers in Slovenian and Croatian regions of Austria-Hungary through legislation and the organisation of teachers colleges. The study consists of a historical comparative analysis for the period from 1867 to 1914. With the appearance of the dualist monarchy, changes occurred in teacher education which can be identified on the basis of school legislation. Teachers became state employees. New state teachers colleges and private ones with public accreditation appeared, separated by gender, some lasting three and some four years. Analysis of the legislation showed differences between the syllabuses of teachers colleges in Slovenian and Croatian regions. A comparison of their activities also shows differences in development, number and organisation. In Slovenian regions, under the Austrian school legislation, the development of four-year teachers colleges and the implementation of new features in teacher education was somewhat faster than in Croatian regions, even though in Istria and Dalmatia the same Austrian school laws applied.
