Quality of Religious Education in Croatia Assessed from Teachers’ Perspective
The main aim of the present study was to examine the quality of religious education in Croatian primary schools when assessed from teachers’ perspective. Religious education teachers (N=226) rated the impact of certain factors on the existing quality of religious education in primary schools and expressed their expectations about the future status of this aspect of education. In addition, teachers rated different sources of their professional satisfaction as religious education teachers. We identified understandable latent dimensions of teachers’ opinions, expectations and satisfaction where retained dimensions are modestly interrelated. The conducted regression analyses suggest that teachers with different professional status-related personal attributes are fairly uniform in their views, expectations and satisfactions. Interesting finding of this study concerns the relationship between school– based Catholic religious education and the parish–based catechesis, where existing relationship represent weak source of religious education teachers satisfaction. This represents the valuable empirically driven insight regarding the Catholic religious education in the Croatian schools with some importance to the broader context of religious education in general.
