Sažetak
The Croatian educational system is facing an extensive curriculum reform that will reflect on all education segments and not only on the content of school subjects. The leaders of the reform advocate the emphasis on competence development, especially in mathematics education where the development of ideas was neglected. Educational changes are present around the world. These changes point to the necessity of devising new methods for teaching and learning mathematics as well as improving classroom practice. We dare say that such change should be constant, not something that will happen once, but it should become daily work for every teacher, mathematics educator and mathematician, spanning across all educational levels. From the contributions in this monograph, it appears that awareness of future teachers’ beliefs and knowledge is present in the Croatian tertiary education. The studies investigate various aspects of pre- service and in-service teachers’ characteristics, like beliefs, knowledge, digital competencies or using ICT in teaching. But the contributions also portray another picture: mathematics education is becoming accepted as a field of scientific research in this region. Although mathematics education research is a young scientific field, it has been recognised that changes in the curriculum and teaching practice should draw upon findings from well-established mathematics education studies. Therefore, in order to enhance mathematics teaching and learning in Croatia and the surrounding countries, there should exist continuous collaboration between communities of mathematics researchers and teacher practitioners, since one of many problems is how to make research results more usable in the classroom. This monograph contains the results of the research on teaching mathematics and examples of good practice provided by the scholars from the neighbouring countries Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Hungary, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden.
