Inozemstvo, Zagreb ili neki drugi grad u Hrvatskoj?: društveno porijeklo, racionalnost izbora i aspiracije srednjoškolaca prema mjestu studiranja
Get PDFIN CROATIAN: U radu se ispituju aspiracije hrvatskih srednjoškolaca kad je riječ o mjestu studiranja (inozemstvo, Zagreb, drugi grad u Hrvatskoj). Teorijsko polazište rada čini teorija racionalnog izbora, koja se koristi pri objašnjenju obrazovnih odluka u periodu obrazovnih tranzicija. Provedena je višerazinska multinomijalna regresijska analiza na nacionalno reprezentativnom uzorku učenika četverogodišnjih srednjih škola (N=10 829). Podatci su prikupljeni tijekom školske godine 2017./2018. Rezultati pokazuju da su aspiracije prema mjestu studiranja povezane s društvenim podrijetlom učenika: veće aspiracije prema studiranju u Zagrebu povezane su s visokoškolskim obrazovanjem barem jednog roditelja te s aktivnim radnim statusom majke i oca, dok su veće aspiracije za studiranjem u inozemstvu povezane s visokoškolskim obrazovanjem obaju roditelja i višim mjesečnim prihodima kućanstva. Učeničke aspiracije prema studiranju u inozemstvu povezane su i s čimbenicima racionalnog izbora: većom brigom za izbjegavanjem silazne društvene mobilnosti, višom samoprocjenom vjerojatnosti uspješnog upisa i završetka studija, nižom procjenom vrijednosti obrazovanja u hrvatskom društvu te višom procjenom nepoštovanja meritokratskih principa u hrvatskom visokom obrazovanju. S druge strane, aspiracije prema studiranju u Zagrebu od navedenih su čimbenika povezane samo s višom procjenom društvene vrijednosti obrazovanja. Svi su učinci bili neovisni o školskom uspjehu učenika. Dobiveni nalazi tumače se u kontekstu horizontalnih nejednakosti u visokom obrazovanju te se upućuje na moguće implikacije nalaza za obrazovnu politiku. --------------- IN ENGLISH: The paper examines the aspirations of Croatian secondary school students towards studying abroad, in Zagreb or in some other city in Croatia. The theoretical background of the paper was based on the rational choice theory, typically used in explaining educational decisions in periods of educational transition. A multi-level multinomial regression analysis was conducted using a nationally representative sample of students attending four-year secondary schools (N=10 829). The data were collected during the school year 2017/2018. The results indicate that aspirations towards the place of studying are related to the students’ social background: stronger aspirations towards studying in Zagreb correlate with having at least one parent with higher education and with the active working status of the mother and father, while stronger aspirations towards studying abroad correlate with the higher education of both parents and a higher monthly household income. Students’ aspirations towards studying abroad are also related to the rational choice indicators: greater concern with avoiding downward social mobility, higher estimate of the probability of successful enrolment at and completion of higher education, lower assessment of the value of education in Croatian society and higher assessment of non-compliance with principles of meritocracy in Croatian higher education. On the other hand, aspirations towards studying in Zagreb only correlate with a higher assessment of the social value of education. All effects were independent of the students’ school performance. The findings are interpreted in the context of horizontal inequalities in higher education, pointing to possible implications for the educational policy
Znanstvena pismenost i stavovi prema znanosti u Hrvatskoj
Get PDFIN CROATIAN: U ovome radu propituju se međuodnos znanstvene pismenosti i stavova javnosti
prema znanosti u Hrvatskoj te njihove sociodemografske odrednice. Istraživanje je provedeno
metodom osobnog anketiranja u sklopu omnibus istraživanja na reprezentativnom višeetapnom
stratificiranom uzorku od 1000 stanovnika RH. Zaključci ove studije ukazuju na nisku
razinu znanstvene pismenosti, ali i dalje pretežno pozitivne stavove prema znanosti, s nekim
naznakama retradicionalizacije. Nalazi ukazuju i na postojanje značajne, ali slabe veze između
razine znanstvene pismenosti i (pozitivnih) stavova prema znanosti, što je u skladu s nalazima
inozemnih istraživanja. --------------- IN ENGLISH: This paper examines the relationship between scientific literacy and public attitudes toward
science in Croatia, as well as their sociodemographic determinants. The research was conducted
by personal interview within the omnibus survey on a representative multistage stratified
sample of 1000 inhabitants of the Republic of Croatia. The findings of this study indicate a
low level of scientific literacy, but still predominantly positive attitudes towards science, with
some indications of retradition. The findings also indicate a significant but weak relationship
between the level of scientific literacy and (positive) attitudes toward science, which is consistent
with the findings of foreign research
The positive attitude approach for teaching in higher education: an untrodden path for policy and practice
Get PDFIN ENGLISH: This article reports on a study in which a new conceptual framework for fostering a positive attitude towards teaching in higher education (PATTHE) was developed. The PATTHE framework builds on a holistic four‐dimensional theoretical concept and is not limited by the specificity of teaching within a particular discipline or national higher education context. The four dimensions of PATTHE pertain to (a) emotional dimension, (b) professional development, (c) constructivist approaches to teaching, and (d) the teaching and research nexus; all of which are relevant for empowering quality teaching at personal, institutional and/or national higher education policy levels. The purpose of our study was to test and analyse this conceptual framework. Creative qualitative research methods were used including identification of keywords, evoking participant opinions through visual materials, reactions to vignettes, and by documenting discussions regarding the proposed PATTHE conceptual framework. A purposive and critically informed approach was used for the selection of twelve higher education experts as research participants. Responses from the selected education developers were collected through an online protocol system. Research results revealed that participant reflections on a positive attitude towards teaching showed a high level of agreement with the proposed conceptual framework; the proposed theoretical concept is thereby deemed well‐constructed and acceptable with minimal extensions. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Ovaj članak izvještava o studiji u kojoj je razvijen novi konceptualni okvir za poticanje pozitivnog stava prema nastavi u visokom obrazovanju (PATTHE). Okvir PATTHE temelji se na holističkom četverodimenzionalnom teorijskom konceptu i nije ograničen specifičnošću poučavanja unutar određene discipline ili nacionalnog konteksta visokog obrazovanja. Četiri dimenzije PATTHE odnose se na (a) emocionalnu dimenziju, (b) profesionalni razvoj, (c) konstruktivistički pristup poučavanju i (d) nastavnu i istraživačku povezanost; sve su to relevantne za osnaživanje kvalitetne nastave na osobnoj, institucionalnoj i / ili nacionalnoj razini politike visokog obrazovanja. Svrha našeg istraživanja bila je testirati i analizirati ovaj konceptualni okvir. Korištene su kreativne kvalitativne metode istraživanja, uključujući identifikaciju ključnih riječi, izazivanje mišljenja sudionika kroz vizualne materijale, reakcije na vinjete i dokumentiranje rasprava o predloženom konceptualnom okviru PATTHE. Namjenski i kritički utemeljen pristup korišten je za odabir dvanaest stručnjaka za visoko obrazovanje kao sudionike istraživanja. Odgovori odabranih programera obrazovanja prikupljeni su putem internetskog sustava protokola. Rezultati istraživanja otkrili su da su razmišljanja sudionika o pozitivnom stavu prema nastavi pokazala visoku razinu slaganja s predloženim konceptualnim okvirom; predloženi teorijski koncept stoga se smatra dobro konstruiranim i prihvatljivim s minimalnim proširenjima
Jednaki i jednakiji: perspektive ravnatelja o državnoj maturi i mogućnostima ostvarivanja visokoškolskih aspiracija učenika strukovnih i gimnazijskih programa u Hrvatskoj
Get PDFIN CROATIAN: U radu su predstavljeni rezultati kvalitativnog eksploratornog istraživanja perspektive ravnatelja srednjih škola o modelu državne mature te jednakosti i pravičnosti u mogućnosti pristupa visokom obrazovanju za učenike strukovnih škola i gimnazija. Ova se pitanja analiziraju u kontekstu sve izraženijih aspiracija mladih ljudi prema visokom obrazovanju, masifikacije visokog obrazovanja i strateškog određenja Republike Hrvatske prema povećanju udjela visokoobrazovanih građana. Jednakost mogućnosti pristupa visokom obrazovanju podrazumijeva da svi učenici koji žele studirati imaju pravo pod jednakim uvjetima i kriterijima pristupiti državnoj maturi kao preduvjetu za upis visokog obrazovanja, a pitanje pravičnosti ogleda se u tome da svaki učenik ima jednaku mogućnost uspjeha u pristupu visokom obrazovanju. Rezultati ukazuju na općenito pozitivne stavove ravnatelja o državnoj maturi kao jedinstvenom sustavu vanjskih ispita koji omogućuje provjeravanje stečenih znanja i vještina na isti način i uz iste kriterije za sve učenike. Kritičke perspektive ravnatelja odnose se na preispitivanje primjerenosti certifikacijske funkcije državne mature za učenike gimnazija (ravnatelji gimnazija) te slabljenja selekcijske funkcije korištenjem dodatnih provjera znanja i sposobnosti učenika od strane visokoškolskih institucija (ravnatelji različitih vrsta škola). Perspektive ravnatelja gimnazija i strukovnih škola o jednakosti i pravičnosti u mogućnostima pristupu visokom obrazovanju izrazito se razlikuju. Dok ravnatelji gimnazija pravičnost sagledavaju kroz prizmu osiguravanja jednakih uvjeta i kriterija za sve, ravnatelji strukovnih škola prepoznaju da nedostatak pravičnosti proizlazi iz drugačijeg obrazovnog iskustva i opsega onoga što uče učenici strukovnih programa. Postojeći mehanizmi obrazovne politike kojima se nastoji adresirati nepovoljniji položaj učenika strukovnih škola su nedostatni za ujednačavanje mogućnosti učenika iz različitih srednjoškolskih programa. --------------- IN ENGLISH: The paper presents the results of a qualitative exploratory study of secondary school principals’ perspectives on the State Matura model, and the issues of equality and equity of access to higher education for vocational and grammar school pupils. These questions are analysed in the context of increasing aspirations of young people towards higher education, the massification of higher education, and the strategic positioning of the Republic of Croatia towards increasing the share of highly educated citizens. Equality of access to higher education implies that all pupils who wish to study have the right to access the State Matura, a prerequisite for entering tertiary education, under equal conditions and criteria. The issue of equity means that every pupil has an equal opportunity to access tertiary education. The results point to generally positive attitudes regarding the State Matura as a uniform system of external exams that enables assessment of the acquired knowledge and skills in the same manner and using the same criteria for all pupils. Principals’ critical perspectives include questioning the suitability of the certification function of the State Matura for grammar school pupils and the weakening of the selective function due to additional testing of pupils’ knowledge and skills by tertiary education institutions. The perspectives of grammar school and vocational school principals on equality and equity of access to tertiary education are distinctly different. While grammar school principals view equity through the prism of providing equal conditions and criteria for all, vocational school principals recognise that the lack of equity arises from a different educational experience and the scope of what is taught in vocational programmes. Existing educational policy mechanisms aimed at addressing the less favourable status of vocational school pupils are insufficient to equalise the opportunities of pupils from various secondary school programmes
Nacionalno istraživanje o sigurnosti djece na internetu: HR Kids Online
Get PDFPrvo hrvatsko reprezentativno istraživanje o digitalnim navikama djece te sigurnosti djece na internetu provedeno je u studenom 2017. godine. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 1.017 djece u dobi od 9 do 17 godina i njihovi roditelji, pri čemu je u istraživanju sudjelovao onaj roditelj koji je bio bolje upoznat s digitalnim navikama djece. U našem uzorku roditelja 78, 4% ispitanika bile su majke. U istraživanju su sudjelovala 524 dječaka i 493 djevojčice od kojih je bilo 307 djece u dobi od 9 do 11 godina, 377 djece u dobi od 12 do 14 godina te 333 djece u dobi od 15 do 17 godina. Istraživanje je provođeno u kućanstvima pri čemu je to prvo takvo istraživanje na reprezentativnom uzorku ikad provedenom u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanje je provedeno u sklopu velikog međunarodnog projekta EU (Global) Kids Online. Riječ je o najvećem europskom projektu u području istraživanja odnosa djece i interneta. Kroz projekt se istražuju prednosti i rizici korištenja interneta među djecom u dobi od 9 do 16 godina (u nekim državama od 9 do 17 godina) ; izloženost djece elektroničkom nasilju, seksualno eksplicitnim sadržajima i ponudama ; način i intenzitet korištenja interneta ovisno o uzrastu i socioekonomskim obilježjima te uloga roditelja, učitelja i okoline u zaštiti i edukaciji djece o opasnostima na internetu
What can we learn about feminism from web portals? – analysing media bulletins
Get PDFIN ENGLISH: In contemporary society, the media are a powerful social force capable of actively supporting but also negating feminist values, regardless of the fact that today the feminist perspective is woven into the political and institutional lives of western countries (McRobbie, 2009). Feminism is considered to be instrumentalized and words such as “empowerment” and “choice” are often used in the media and popular culture “as a kind of substitute for feminism” (McRobbie, 2009: 1). This paper presents a media analysis of articles published by the five most visited Croatian web portals in 2019. The content of the articles was analysed by qualitative method that is by thematic analysis. The results show that feminism is a neglected topic on web portals and is most often found in “news”, “culture” or “film” sections. The results of the thematic analysis identified five thematic frameworks which encompass the published articles: feminist pioneers, female politicians and feminism, celebrity feminism, feminist activism, and feminism and film. The first framework “feminist pioneers”, along with the “feminist activism” framework, are more educational in the nature of their reporting, while the “celebrity feminism” framework deals more with the topics of violence towards women, women’s relationship with their bodies and gender equality in general. The presentation of female politicians within the framework dealing with politics and feminism is the most neglected because it is practically devoid of any political-feminist content while the “film and feminism” framework is almost entertaining in character because it is mostly based on commenting upon movie characters and their lifestyles as well as screenwriter choices. Although all the identified frameworks mention and broach a series of subthemes, except in the case of feminist activism, these subthemes are not problematized nor can the audience reach a wider comprehension. Young people, as regular consumers of news content on the most visited web portals, can’t acquire a realistic image of feminism, and rarely in few occasional news, can get a cursory education on feminist values. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Mediji su u suvremenom društvu moćna društvena sila koja može aktivno podržavati ali i osporavati feminističke vrijednosti bez obzira na činjenicu što je feministička perspektiva danas utkana u politički i institucionalni život zapadnih zemalja (McRobbie, 2009). Feminizam se smatra instrumentaliziranim, a riječi kao što su „osnaživanje“ i „izbor“ rabe se često u medijima i popularnoj kulturi „kao vrsta supstitucije za feminizam“ (McRobbie, 2009: 1). U ovom radu provedena je medijska analiza na objavljenim člancima prvih pet najposjećenijih web portala u Hrvatskoj u 2019. godini. Sadržaj članaka obrađen je kvalitativnom metodologijom, odnosno tematskom analizom. Rezultati pokazuju da je feminizam zanemarena tema na web portalima te da se najčešće može naći unutar rubrika „novosti“, „kulture“ ili „filma“. Rezultati tematske analize pokazali su postojanje pet tematskih okvira unutar kojih su objavljeni tekstovi: pionirke u feminizmu, političarke i feminizam, celebrity feminizam, feministički aktivizam te film i feminizam. Prvi tematski okvir “pionirke u feminizmu” i okvir “feminističkog aktivizma” imaju više naglašeni edukativni smjer izvještavanja dok “celebrity feminizam” više sadržajno naznačava temu odnosa prema ženskom tijelu i nasilju prema ženama te općenito rodnoj ravnopravnosti. Predstavljanje političarki unutar tematskog okvira je najzapostavljenijeg karaktera jer se u njemu praktički ne objavljuje nikakav značajniji političko-feministički sadržaj dok je okvir filma i feminizma skoro zabavnog karaktera jer se uglavnom zasniva na komentiranju filmskih likova i njihovog životnog stila te scenarističkih rješenja. Iako se unutar svih navedenih tematskih okvira spominje i otvara niz subtema njima se, osim u okviru teme feminističkog aktivizma, ne pristupa problematski niti je publici moguće doći do opsežnijih spoznaja. Mladi, kao konzumenti vijesti na najčitanijim web portalima ne mogu steći realnu predodžbu o feminizmu, i rijetko se, osim u prigodničarskim vijestima mogu tek površno educirati o feminističkim vrijednostima
Social inclusion, digitalisation and young people: research study
No full textThis study aims to explore the existing state of play when it comes to digitalisation and social inclusion of young people. The overall question leading this study was: “What is the intersection between social inclusion and digitalisation?”. In order to explore this intersection, three main sub- questions were used: 1) What are the relevant policies, legal frameworks and practices at European, national and local level looking at the intersection of social inclusion and digitalisation in the youth field? ; 2) What are the instruments (tools, platforms) that the national and local authorities, or other entities, have been developing to train the specialists in the youth field (the youth workers, youth educators, youth specialists, civil servants) to work on digitalisation and social inclusion o that the state and non-state actors make available for young people in order to respond to their needs and interests related to digitalization? ; and 3) What are the potential risks and opportunities of digitalisation for young people – especially for the ones that are at risk of social exclusion? Considering the research questions stated above, the objectives of the study are the following: 1) To offer a general review of the European, national and local youth policies, focusing on social inclusion and digitalisation ; 2) To present existing practices, based on a brief analysis of the national, transnational and local projects ; and 3) To present potential risks and opportunities of digitalisation. In terms of data collection, two main methods used were: 1. The online questionnaire using open questions. Data was collected using an online questionnaire answered by EKCYP correspondents and youth organisations across Europe ; and 2) Desk review of relevant documents. The researchers conducted a desk review of mainly secondary sources (literature, legislation, action plans, governmental programmes, resolutions and decisions). Desk analysis was complemented by the secondary analysis of data collected during the EU’s 6th Cycle of Structured Dialogue
Obrana javnih prostora u zagrebačkim slučajevima „Čuvamo naš park“ i „Vratite magnoliju“
Get PDFIN CROATIAN: Tijekom nekoliko zadnjih godina na zagrebačkom je prostoru bilo više primjera borbe
za javne prostore, a u ovom će se radu pratiti dva takva slučaja. U prvom, stanari u naselju
Savica udruženi su u civilnu inicijativu Čuvamo naš park i bore se za obranu postojećeg prostora
parka (zelena površina i igralište) jer gradska uprava podržava izgradnju crkve, što bi prostor
parka značajno smanjilo. Tako započinju dugogodišnji napori da se ta gradska odluka poništi.
Drugi je slučaj otpor prema planiranoj revitalizaciji Meštrovićevog paviljona na Trgu žrtava
fašizma, koja je izazvala veliko nezadovoljstvo kako samom obnovom tako i sječom postojećeg
drveća uz zgradu Paviljona, posebno drveta magnolije. To je dovelo do stvaranja inicijative nazvane
Vratite magnoliju. U nastavku rada donosi se analiza diskursa o tim slučajevima, za koju
su korišteni digitalni članci s različitih internetskih portala koji su pratili te teme. Analizom se
pokazala dihotomna situacija, s jedne strane nedovoljna participacija građana u procesu donošenja
odluka o planiranim promjenama, a s druge jak otpor stanara i građana, koji su pokazali
kroz civilne inicijative putem protesta i brojnih akcija. Navedeno je stoga dovelo do stagnacije
u prilagodbi europskim urbanističkim standardima (tzv. urbana održivost), posebno okolišnoj
i socijalnoj dimenziji održivosti. No kroz analizu diskursa može se istaknuti kako su civilne inicijative,
odnosno građani svojom aktivnošću promicali navedene vrijednosti i nastojali uvjeriti
urbanu politiku u njihovu primjenu, ponekad i s nekim pozitivnim ishodom, u čemu se može
primijetiti jedna nova dimenzija odnosa moći između svih uključenih aktera. --------------- IN ENGLISH: In the last few years, there were many examples of fighting for public spaces in Zagreb. In this
paper, two such cases are examined. In the first case, residents of the Savica housing estate
joined in the civil initiative “We are Keeping our Park“ and fought for the defense of the existing
park space (green area and playground) because the city authorities supported the building
of a church, which would significantly decrease the park area. Thus, the long-standing efforts
to annul this city autorities’ decision have begun. The second case, of resisting the planned
revitalization of the Meštrović Pavillion on the Square of the Victims of Fascism, caused a
major protest against the revamp and logging of the trees near the Pavillion, especially the
magnolia tree. This brought about the initiative called “Bring Back the Magnolia“. The paper
provides discourse analysis regarding these cases, for which digital articles from various
Internet portals covering the topics were used. The analysis revealed a dichotomous situation.
On the one hand there was not enough citizens’ participation in the decision-making process
regarding the planned changes, and on the other, there was a strong resistance of tenants and
citizens, displayed through civil initiatives including protests and various actions. All this led
to the stagnation in adjusting to European urbanistic standards (so called urban sustainability),
particularly its environmental and social dimension. Nevertheless, through the discourse
analysis it can be argued that the civil initiatives, i.e. citizens through their agency, promoted
these values and attempted to convince urban policy makers to apply them, which sometimes
resulted in positive outcomes and in which a new dimension of power relationships between
all actors involved can be observed
Longitudinal study of individual, environmental and contextual factors predicting adaptation to the transition to lower secondary education
Get PDFIN ENGLISH: Transitions into higher educational levels are normative life events that challenge students' academic and socio-emotional development. This longitudinal study aims to examine outcomes of and determinants of students' adaptation to the transition from classroom (4th grade) to subject teaching (5th grade). The outcomes of adaptation were assessed by changes in students' GPA and learning self-efficacy from 4th to 5th grade as well as by the self-perceived adaptation. In addition, a number of individual, environmental and contextual determinants of the three adaptation outcomes were examined. Participants were 860 students aged 10–11 years from Zagreb, Croatia. They participated in data collection at the end of 4th grade, at the mid-term of 5th grade and at the end of 5th grade. The results showed that students' GPA and learning self-efficacy declined following transition, although they generally perceived their academic adaptation as successful. Several individual, environmental and contextual variables explained academic adaptation to transition operationalized as self-perceived adaptation, learning self-efficacy and GPA in 5th grade. The stage-environment fit model of educational transition was supported even when transition takes place within the same school building and class. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Tranzicije u više razine obrazovanja normativni su životni događaji koji predstavljaju izazov za akademski i socioemocionalni razvoj učenika. Ovo longitudinalno istraživanje imalo je za cilj ispitati ishode i odrednice učeničke prilagodbe na tranziciju iz razredne (4. razred) u predmetnu nastavu (5. razred). Ishodi prilagodbe procijenjeni su promjenama u prosjeku završnih ocjena i samoefikasnosti za učenje između 4. i 5. razreda te učeničkom samoprocjenom prilagodbe na predmetnu nastavu u 5. razredu. Nadalje, ispitan je niz individualnih, okolinskih i kontekstualnih odrednica triju ishoda prilagodbe. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 860 učenika iz Zagreba u dobi od 10 do 11 godina. Podaci su prikupljani krajem 4. razreda, sredinom 5. razreda i na kraju 5. razreda. Rezultati pokazuju da su se prosjek zaključnih ocjena i samoefikasnost za učenje smanjili nakon tranzicije u predmetnu nastavu, iako su učenici uglavnom procjenjivali svoju akademsku prilagodbu uspješnom. Različite individualne, okolinske i kontekstualne varijable objašnjavale su akademsku prilagodbu na prijelaz u predmetnu nastavu iskazanu kao samoprocjenu prilagodbe, samoefikasnost za učenje i prosjek završnih ocjena u 5. razredu. Model usklađenosti razvojne faze i okolinskih čimbenika obrazovnih tranzicija (engl. stage - environment fit model) potvrđen je i u slučaju kada se tranzicija odvija unutar iste školske zgrade i razrednog odjela
Media coverage of different scientific disciplines in the Croatian daily press: socio-historical perspective
Get PDFIN ENGLISH: The goal of this research was to determine the changes in frequency and characteristics of media reporting of different scientific disciplines in the socio-historical context in which they arise. The research was conducted using the method of content analysis, which comprised Croatian daily newspapers with the highest readership in two time periods: ’socialism‘, from 1986 to 1988, and ’democracy‘, from 2006 to 2008. The constructed week method was used to select a total of 885 articles. The findings confirm the specificities in media communication of particular scientific disciplines in different socio-political contexts, as well as a tendency of levelling media practices in line with global trends, such as growing orientation towards medicalisation and socio-spatial domination of ’Western‘ news. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi promjene u učestalosti i obilježjima medijskog izvještavanja o različitim znanstvenim disciplinama u društveno-povijesnom kontekstu u kojem nastaju. Istraživanje je provedeno metodom analize sadržaja koja je obuhvatila najčitanije hrvatske dnevne novine u dva vremenska razdoblja: „socijalističkom“, od 1986. do 1988., i „demokratskom“, od 2006. do 2008. Korištena je metoda konstruiranog tjedna za odabir ukupno 885 članaka. Nalazi potvrđuju specifičnosti medijske komunikacije pojedinih znanstvenih disciplina u različitim društveno-političkim kontekstima, kao i tendenciju ujednačavanja medijskih praksi u skladu s globalnim trendovima, kao što su rastuća orijentacija prema medikalizaciji i socioprostorna dominacija „zapadnjačkih“ vijesti
