Sažetak
Discussions regarding the concept of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) have started in the 1990s at American universities, while today it is a topic of an ongoing discussion in the European area of higher education as well. This is evident in many associations of higher education institutions, with academics and students seeking to improve the research and practice of SoTL, as well as in the growing literature on the subject. Although there is a number of different approaches in defining this concept, the common element in the conceptualisation of SoTL is that higher education teachers should study, explore, evaluate and improve their teaching practice systematically and by the means of scientific methods. Additionally, the idea is that teachers should then publish the results of the research on their teaching practice in order to improve the overall quality of education. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to detect whether and how the concept of SoTL is implemented in the higher education system in the Republic of Croatia. In order to realize the set aim, we will conduct an analysis of the documents brought forward by the Quality Committees at all Croatian universities. It is noteworthy to point out that the preliminary literature analysis indicates that, in the Croatian context, there does not even seem to be consensus on adequate translation affirmed by the academic community, which would enable its deeper understanding. Therefore, the contribution of this paper is first and foremost reflected in an attempt to focus more attention on the very current topic of SoTL and to position the higher education system in Croatia within its context.
