Management and Supervision in Croatian School Education in the Historical Context and Continuity

The authors examined the phenomenon of management and supervision in Croatian public school education between the enactment of the General School Order in 1774 and the beginning of the Second World War. The research possesses all the characteristics of longitudinal research, since it analyses the phenomenon of management and supervision in Croatian school education in the period of nearly two centuries (171) years. The research is based on archival and published material ; school acts and subacts ; official textbooks of pedagogy and relevant literature. School management and supervision were analysed in different territorial-political-social circumstances within the Austrian Empire, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy and the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, later the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. External and internal forms of management have been identified: administrative bodies, administrative school bodies and administrative bodies in schools. Administrative bodies have been hierarchically organized from state (country) to municipal or school bodies. School supervision has also been organized on a territorial-hierarchical principle from state to school supervision. According to the content/area, administrative-financial-material, professional- pedagogical and religious forms of supervision have been determined. The greatest interest in school practice was aroused by municipal school boards and local school supervisors. School management has all the characteristics of a collegial body, and school supervision of an individual independent body. In school research projects, the area of school management and supervision has not been particularly frequent. At the same time, school has been in constant modernization and innovation. Modern research also indicates that school management and supervision are a significant development factor in school transformation and modernization. Contemporary research rarely relies on historical experiences in this area, nor is there a critical analysis of the stated phenomenon. In order to more easily understand the present and trace the future, it is necessary to know the past with all the desirable and undesirable (limiting) characteristics.
