The position of rhetorics in the education system of the Republic of Croatia

Odgojno-obrazovni sustav od najranijeg doba oblikuje osobu. Tako je bilo od najranijih modernih civilizacija. Vrijednosti i važnosti pojedinih predmeta podučavanja su se mijenjali. Tako je govorništvo u nekim razdobljima bilo vrlo važno, u nekima manje važno, a u nekima potpuno zanemareno. Odgojno-obrazovni se proces razlikuje od države do države. Tako trenutno sustav Republike Hrvatske dopušta govorništvo u sklopu nastave drugih predmeta ili kao izborni predmet, dok se u susjednoj Republici Sloveniji u devetom razredu osnovne škole govorništvo podučava kao obvezan predmet. Ispitivanjem stavova studenata prema govornom umijeću se pokazalo da studenti imaju pozitivan stav. Samim time se ostavlja otvorena mogućnost za većim uvođenjem govorničkog umijeća u odgojno-obrazovni proces. To je potrebno jer je sve više ljudi kojima je dobar govor u opisu zanimanja, a njime nisu dobro ovladali, a toga nisu ni svjesni. To pokazuje i anketa u kojoj je većina ispitanika odgovorila kako se smatra vrlo dobrim govornicima. Da bi se poboljšale vještine javnog govorenja, govorništvo je potrebno što bolje uklopiti u odgojno-obrazovni proces.The education system forming a person from the earliest age. It was like that from the earliest of modern civilization. The value and importance of individual items of teaching have changed. Thus, the rhetoric in some periods were very important, in some less important, and in some cases completely ignored. The educational process is different from country to country. So the current system allows the Croatian public speaking within the teaching of other subjects or as an optional subject, while in the neighboring Republic of Slovenia in the ninth grade oratory taught as a compulsory subject. The examination of students' attitudes toward speaking skill was shown that students have a positive attitude. Therefore it leaves open the possibility of introducing greater oratorical skills in the educational process. This is necessary because more people which is a good speech in the description of the occupation, and it is not well mastered, and without knowing it. This is demonstrated by surveys in which the majority of respondents replied that it is considered very good speakers. To improve public speaking skills, public speaking is necessary to better fit into the educational process
