Studies of Philosophy and Theology in Đakovo at the Beginning of the 19th Century: National Syllabi and Regulations

Rad se osvrće na značajne promjene i reforme u visokoškolskom obrazovanju koje je austrijska državna vlast provela u drugoj polovici 18 stoljeća. Sukladno reformi školstva, promijenila je vlast brojnim svojim zakonima, propisima i uredbama krajem 18. st. i osnovu nastavnog programa na visokim filozofskim učilištima i teološkim školama, uvela državni nadzor u škole i stavila školstvo pod svoju nadležnost, osobito u vrijeme prosvjetiteljstva i jozefinizma. Navedene promjene i državni zahvati bili su prisutni i kod osnivanja biskupijskog visokog filozofskog učilišta i teološke škole u Đakovu 1806. godine. Nizom državnih propisa u nastavnim programima, predmetima, broju sati predavanja, profesorskim kvalifikacijama, ispitima i izvješćima o stanju i rezultatima na školama austrijska je državna vlast bila prisutna i u đakovačkom biskupijskom sjemeništu i liceju od 1806. godine, kao i u ostalim visokoškolskim zavodima u državi. Time je htjela stvoriti novi profil svećenika koji je trebao biti državni javni duhovni činovnik, i uklopiti sebe i njega u novi duh vremena. Đakovačko je sjemenište, odnosno visoko filozofsko učilište i teološka škola, moralo prihvatiti državne smjernice te je od 1806. godine odgajalo i obrazovalo studente za svoje crkvene potrebe, ali po državnim programima i propisima.The article provides the information on the signifi cant changes and reforms in the academic education carried out by the Austrian state authorities in the second half of the 18th century. In accordance with the educational reform the authorities introduced changes related to numerous regulations, rules and decrees at the end of the 18th century, including the basics of the syllabi at the colleges of philosophy and theological schools. They also introduced inspection into schools and placed education under their jurisdiction, especially in the time of Enlightenment and Josephinism. The above stated changes and the interventions by the State also took place at the time of the foundation of the Diocesan Faculty of Philosophy and the School of Theology in Đakovo, in 1806.
