Sažetak
Gender Sensitivity of Primary Teacher Education Study Programmes in the Republic of Croatia European Commission (2020) emphasises the prevention and suppression of gender stereotypes and sexism and the achievement of gender aware policies in all measures as one of the main goals of the European Union's Gender Equality Strategy (2020-2025). The governments of the EU Member States, including Croatia, are initiating the implementation of this strategy at the national and local level. Research in Croatia (Barada, 2016) and other countries (Risenfors and Brömsen, 2021 ; Abbas, 2019) indicate insufficient gender sensitivity of the curriculum of higher education institutions, including the faculties of teacher education. The aim of this research is to determine whether and to what extent primary teacher education study programmes (curricula) are gender sensitive. For this purpose, (qualitative and quantitative) analysis of seven study programmes for primary school teachers in the Republic of Croatia was conducted. Primary teacher education study programmes at the Universities of Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek, Pula, Zadar and Slavonski Brod were analysed in the research. The analysis was based on the frequency of use of the terms gender and sex in the description of teacher education study programmes and in the description of courses (teaching contents, learning outcomes, literature and student assessment). In addition, the aim is to indicate the representation of compulsory and elective courses which are entirely dedicated to gender topics and courses that contain teaching units involving gender topics. In addition to the texts of the documents explicitly mentioning the terms gender and sex, the analysis included the representation of content that may indicate the inclusion of gender issues within a broader topic. Empirical indicators demonstrate the extent to which gender issues are represented, in which courses they are represented and with which topics in the curricula of primary teacher education they are represented. Based on the findings, recommendations are made for achieving a higher level of gender sensitivity of primary teacher education study programmes in order to contribute to the implementation of the gender equality strategy in Croatia.
