Fair play in higher education and university sport in Zagreb

The scientific education institutions should protect and promote rights and freedoms, ensure the fair and equal treatment of every member of the academic community and, in the spirit of fair play, encourage ethical behaviour of all the members of the community. The code of ethics of the higher education institutions recognises the fundamental fair play principles such as equality and fairness, objectivity and impartiality, academic right to expression and obeying the laws and legal proceedings of the university community. The aim of the study is to analyse the opinions of first and second year students on fair play principles in higher education and student sports. The research was implemented during the 2010/2011 school year, within the framework of physical education classes, the only classes in the curriculum promoting educational values, sports culture and safeguarding the students' health. 30 first and second year students of the Zagreb Faculty of Agriculture participated in the research. Besides the analysis of students’ opinion, the study will examine the position of top level athletes in educational process, the conditions, not privileges, that should have to ensure that athletes will be equally successful in school or faculty and sports achiviements. Research analysis so far has shown the great potential of Croatian universities in the process of resolving structural problems. In accordance with W. Heitmeyer's interpretation of causes of social problems, the students emphasize the problem of the moral degradation of the general public, which reflects onto the individual relationship towards work. They emphasize the role of the family in education and the adoption of moral values which takes place in early childhood (empathy, conscience, altruism and moral reasoning).
