ATTITUDES OF FUTURE TEACHERS AND EDUCATORS ABOUT THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGUE

Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati stavove budućih učitelja i odgojitelja o ulozi pedagoga u odgojno – obrazovnoj ustanovi. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 227 studenata Filozofskog fakulteta Sveučilišta u Splitu od kojih je 141 student s Učiteljskog studija, a njih 86 je s Odsjeka za rani i predškolski odgoj i obrazovanje. Rezultati dobiveni ovim istraživanjem ukazuju na nedovoljno poznavanje područja rada pedagoga u odgojno – obrazovnoj ustanovi iz perspektive budućih učitelja i odgojitelja, ali i nepoznavanje kompetencija koje su pedagogu potrebne za njegov rad. Unatoč tome, zanimljiv je podatak da gotovo svi ispitanici procjenjuju da je uloga pedagoga u odgojno – obrazovnoj ustanovi ipak važna.This research aims to explore attitudes of future educators towards the role of a pedagogue in an educational institution. All 227 participants are students of the Faculty of humanities and social studies in Split from which 141 belong to the department of Teacher Education and 86 of them belong to the department of Pre – school Education. The results show that future educators have insufficient knowledge about the role of a pedagogue in an educational institution. These results also highlight the general ignorance about the necessary skills a pedagogue must obtain to be able to work. However, it is interesting to mention that all participants value the role of a pedagogue as highly important in an educational institution
