Sažetak
The article presents the structure of science curricula of different European countries as one of the factors contributing to development of coherent scientific knowledge and skills in compulsory education. It is the result of a wider research project conducted at the Institute for Social Research's Centre for Educational Research and Development. The project included a comparative analysis of the said European curricular documents and development of recommendations for potential closer alignment of the Croatian national curricula with the perceived tendencies in the selected European countries. The recommendations focus on potential conceptualisation of the Croatian curriculum (in the field of natural sciences) as a ‘ deduction’ of the subjects’ content from a coordinated set of competences, which are defined as a general outcome of compulsory science education.
