INFLUENCE OF COMPREHENSIVE CURRICULAR REFORM ON OUTCOMES OF UPBRINGING SUBJECTS IN ELEMENTARY CLASSES

Comprehensive curricular reform through an extensive School for Life program is a major innovation in the Croatian education system. It has brought many changes to the basic documents and it is important to examine these changes and explore how much they have positively affected the performance of subjects and the learning outcome. The methodology of this research is of a qualitative nature and a comparative analysis was performed comparing the Educational plan and program (2006) and Curriculum (2016 ; 2019) for upbringing subjects Music Culture, Art Culture and Physical and Health Culture. The main goal is to highlight the changes brought by the new curriculum of upbringing subjects and how they have reflected on educational theory and practice. The news that appeared in the new curricula were singled out and analyzed. Positive changes are visible in terms of greater connection between theory and practice, emphasis on experiential learning and individualized approach to students. Teachers are given more freedom in planning, preparing and conducting classes. Some upbringing steps have also been taken, such as avoiding stigmatization and emphasizing the specifics of students. One of the main innovations is the development of critical thinking and opening the way for modern teaching. There is a lack of major interventions in the teaching content itself. The evaluation also remains a big issue, where clearer criteria are adopted, but when it comes to upbringing subjects, more thorough changes are still needed.
