Sažetak
Considering that foreign research findings indicate the marginalisation of philosophical and sociological content in the curricula of teacher education faculties (e.g. Barrow, 2019 ; Kerr, Mandzuk, & Raptis, 2011), it is necessary to examine the extent to which courses in these areas are represented in primary teacher education study programmes in the Republic of Croatia (RC) and the topics they cover. The research presented in this paper is based on the analysis of seven primary teacher education study programmes in the RC (at the Universities of Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Osijek, Zadar, Pula and Slavonski Brod). The findings show an unequal representation of courses in the field of philosophy and sociology across different primary teacher study programmes, as well as substantial differences in the teaching content of the courses offered. For instance, in two out of seven analysed primary teacher education study programmes, there are no compulsory courses in the field of philosophy and sociology ; in two study programmes (general) Sociology is a compulsory course, while in most cases various philosophical disciplines and special sociologies are compulsory or elective courses. The inclusion of philosophical and sociological topics in interdisciplinary courses is also analysed. This paper indicates the possible consequences of the underrepresentation of philosophical and sociological topics in some of the primary teacher education study programmes. Possible solutions and guidelines are provided, which could help shape new and more balanced syllabi of philosophical and sociological courses in primary teacher education study programmes.
