Sažetak
The purpose of this research was to identify a set of competencies social pedagogues need in their professional work for successful outcomes. Research was conducted on a sample of N=193 social pedagogues in the Republic of Croatia (14% male and 86% female professionals). Research included social pedagogues who work in social welfare system, educational system, health institutions, judicial institutions and non-governmental organizations. Range of age is from 24 to 65 years (M=39, 38, SD=10, 590) while the range of working experience varies from 1 to 42 years (M=13, 5 ; SD=10, 416). Administrated questioner consists of 5 parts: (1) general socio-demographic data and information about job description, (2) information about clients and interventions, (3) Perceived Importance of Sociopedagogical Competencies Scale and Perceived Competency Scale for Sociopedagogical Work, (4) job satisfaction and additional educations, and (5) perceived professional and social status of Social pedagogy in Croatia. Results will be presented in the context of needed competencies for successful sociopedagogical work and differences in perceived importance of competencies between different areas and types of work. Results will also indicate gaps between the perceived importance of competencies and the level of acquired competencies that have direct effect on life-long learning strategies and future educational curricula. This presentation is a part of a broader three year research “ Scientific establishment and development of Social pedagogy in the Republic of Croatia” financed by Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sport.
