Sažetak
Development and quality of preschool institutions can also be looked upon through professional development of educational staff, and it is largely related to director's, the key person’s awareness in providing conditions for professional strengthening of his institution and staff. This leads to the need that directors, above all, should develop professional competences needed to support and empower the learning community. Since this topic is part of a larger research by another author, this paper will focus on comparing professional competences of directors in city and private preschool institutions through their self-assessment. Accordingly, the aim was to examine the correlation and differences of some dimensions of professional competences of directors, given the size and type of institution / city-private and the length of the mandate period. The survey was conducted among Croatian directors of preschool institutions (N = 42), using the Scale for self-assessment of professional competences. Non-parametric Mann Whitney test was used as part of the differential design for testing subsamples on dependent variables. Non- parametric Spearman correlation coefficient was used to test the relationship between variables. Although differences or relationship between the professional competences of the directors have not been confirmed given the type, size and mandate period, the results indicate a high self-assessment of directors in the one sample t test.
