Sažetak
Education is recognized from the EU and OECD as a main driver of countries development. According to the aforementioned organizations, education systems should focus on development of competencies that would enable young people to become life-span learners and to adjust to rapid changes in modern societies. One of the key competencies in that context is problem solving. Therefore, one of the main goals of the recent curricular reform in Croatia was increasing student problem solving competency. The aim of this research was to assess level to which the listed goal of the curricular reform was reached. Research was conducted in 74 Croatian primary and secondary schools. The study had mixed-method design: standardized problem solving tests, and interviews with students, teachers and school principals. Tests were online delivered to 6952 students. Quantitative and qualitative analyses showed that teachers need more education in order to facilitate development of students’ problem solving competency.
