A Proposal of Postgraduate Scientific Doctoral Study in Education in Technical Sciences at the University of Split

Conventional type of education which leads towards PhD in substrate sciences for professors (teachers) interested in scientific research related to education is not an optimal choice, but, at the moment, in Croatia doesn’ t exist a system of scientific specialization that leads towards PhD in education of technical (and natural) sciences. It should be emphasized that the proposed study is primarily oriented towards students that finished graduate studies for elementary and secondary school professors in informatics and technics but it is also opened towards engineers that have obtained additional psychological-pedagogical education. In addition, it is expected that the high-quality authors of the elementary and secondary schools textbooks could be recruited from the students that finished this study program. Modular approach of the presented study program and large number of elective courses provides students to learn and sub specialize in various specific areas. However, a number of mandatory courses ensure that student will receive necessary fundamental knowledge that is essential for future scientific work in the field of education in informatics and technics, for applying acquired scientific knowledge in special didactics within the educational process, development and evaluation curricula, improvement of educational process, etc. Presented study is fully compatible with the Bologna declaration and the intention to provide education vertical according to 3+2+3 principle to all students.
