Symbolism in Ferdinand Raimund's „Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs“
No full textDiese Abschlussarbeit befasst sich mit der Verwendung von Symbolik in Ferdinand Raimunds Werk "Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs". Im theoretischen Teil der Arbeit wird zunächst die gesellschaftspolitische Situation sowie die Zensur, die im 19. Jahrhundert in Österreich herrschte, als das Werk entstand, erläutert. Begriffe wie Zaubermärchen und literarische Symbolik werden ebenfalls definiert, was ein besseres Verständnis der Analyse dieser Arbeit ermöglicht. Symbole wie die Zahl 3, die Zahl 7, der Blitz und die Insel, die dann im Werk analysiert werden, wurden aufgrund ihrer wichtigen Funktion in der Entstehungszeit des Werkes ausgewählt. In dieser Abschlussarbeit erhalten diese Symbole eine erweiterte Bedeutung, die dem Leser einen besseren Einblick in den gesellschaftspolitischen Kontext der Zeit Raimunds bietet.Ovaj završni rad se bavi upotrebom simbolike u djelu Ferdinanda Raimunda "Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs". U teoretskom dijelu rada najprije je objašnjena društveno politička situacija, odnosno cenzura koja je vladala u Austriji za vrijeme 19. stoljeća kada je djelo nastalo. Termini poput čarobne bajke i književne simbolike su također definirani, čime se omogućava bolje razumijevanje analize ovog rada. Simboli: broj 3, broj 7, grom i otok, koji se zatim analiziraju kroz djelo, izabrani su na temelju svoje važne funkcije u vremenu kada je djelo nastalo. U ovom završnom radu ti simboli dobivaju prošireno značenje koje čitatelju pruža bolji uvid u društveno-politički okolnosti kontekst Raimundovog vremena.This bachelor thesis deals with the use of symbolism in Ferdinand Raimund's "Der Diamant des Geisterkönigs." The theoretical part of the thesis first explains the sociopolitical situation, specifically the censorship that prevailed in Austria during the 19th century when the work was created. Terms such as magical fairy tale and literary symbolism are also defined, enabling a better understanding of the analysis in this thesis. The symbols: the number 3, the number 7, thunder, and the island, which are then analyzed throughout the work, were chosen based on their important function at the time the work was created. In bachelor thesis, these symbols are given expanded meanings, providing the reader with a better insight into the socio-political context of Raimund's era
Voyage planning between Milford Haven and Houston
No full textU ovom završnom radu će se pisati o izradi plana putovanja između dvaju velikih svjetskih luka, Milford Haven (UK) i Houston (SAD) obuhvaćajući detaljnu analizu navigacijskih postupaka, pravila i propisa koji osiguravaju sigurnu plovidbu LNG brodom. Fokus je na korištenju navigacijskih pomagala, kao što je ECDIS, te pridržavanju međunarodnih smjernica (SOLAS, STCW, ISM) kako bi se osigurala sigurnost plovila, posade, okoliša i tereta. Rad analizira ključne čimbenike poput rute, vremenskih uvjeta, sigurnosnih mjera i izvještavanja. Ističe važnost detaljnog planiranja i nadzora. Naglasak je na uvrštenim parametrima u ECDIS za navedenu rutu, specifikacije odabranog plovila pri relativno dobrim vremenskim uvjetima.In this thesis will be written about the planning of a route plan between two major world ports, Milford Haven (UK) and Houston (USA), including a detailed analysis of navigation procedures, rules and regulations that ensure safe navigation of an LNG ship. The focus is on the use of navigational aids, such as ECDIS, and adherence to international guidelines (SOLAS, STCW, ISM safety) to safeguard vessel, crew, the environment and cargo. The paper analyzes key factors such as route, weather conditions, security measures and reporting and highlights the importance of detailed planning and supervision. The emphasis is on the included parameters in ECDIS for this particular route, the specifications of the selected vessel in relatively good weather conditions
Some determinants of women's tendencies to support aesthetic procedures
No full textEstetski zahvati su jedan od sve popularnijih i dostupnijih načina poboljšavanja vlastitog izgleda, a istodobno se uz njih još uvijek vežu stereotipi i predrasude prema osobama koje se podvrgavaju istima, pri čemu ih se često deklarira kao ranjive i osobe niskog samopouzdanja. Stoga je cilj ovog istraživanja bio utvrditi jedinstveni doprinos sociodemografskih i psiholoških odrednica u objašnjenju stavova žena prema estetskim zahvatima, kako bi se bolje razumjeli razlozi podvrgavanja žena estetskim zahvatima te podržavanja istih. U istraživanju je sudjelovala ukupno 631 sudionica, a primjenjeni mjerni instrumenti su Rosenbergova skala samopoštovanja, subskala ekstraverzije (IPIP-50), Skala anksioznosti oko izgleda vlastitog tijela, Skala iskustava interpersonalne seksualne objektivizacije, Skala stavova prema estetskim zahvatima te sociodemografski upitnik. Rezultati hijerarhijske regresijske analize sugeriraju kako nereligiozne sudionice, one koje su u vezi ili braku, koje su se same podvrgnule neinvazivnom ili invazivnom estetskom zahvatu, one koje poznaju osobu koja se podvrgnula estetskom zahvatu, koje su anksioznije oko izgleda vlastitog tijela, koje imaju veće samopoštovanje i ekstraverziju, ujedno imaju i pozitivnije stavove prema estetskim zahvatima. Nadalje, utvrđeno je kako sudionice koje su se podvrgnule estetskim zahvatima u prosjeku procjenjuju više rezultate u varijablama samopoštovanja i ekstraverzije, u odnosu na sudionice koje se nisu podvrgnule estetskim zahvatima. Nalazi istraživanja doprinose boljem razumijevanju i širem uvidu u razloge zbog kojih se žene podvrgavaju estetskim zahvatima te podržavaju iste, usprkos velikom broju stereotipa i predrasuda kojima su iste izložene u društvu.Aesthetic procedures are popular and available way to improve one's appearance and at the same time, are still associated with stereotypes and prejudices against those who undergo aesthetic procedures, often being declared as vulnerable. Therefore, the goal of this research was to determine the unique contribution of sociodemographic and psychological determinants 7 in explaining women's attitudes towards aesthetic procedures, in order to better understand the reasons why women undergo aesthetic procedures and support them. A total of 631 participants took part in this research. The following instruments were used: the Rosenberg self-esteem scale, the extraversion subscale (IPIP-50), body image scale, the scale of interpersonal sexual objectification, the scale of attitudes towards aesthetic procedures and a sociodemographic questionnaire. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis suggest that non-religious participants, those who are in a romantic relationship or marriage, who have undergone a noninvasive or invasive aesthetic procedure, those who know a person who has undergone an aesthetic procedure, who are more anxious about the appearance of their own body, who have higher self-esteem and extraversion, also have more positive attitudes towards aesthetic procedures. Furthermore, it has been found that participants who underwent aesthetic procedures on average scored higher in the variables of self-esteem and extraversion, compared to participants who didn't undergo aesthetic procedures. The findings of this research contribute to a better understanding and broader insight into the reasons why women undergo aesthetic procedures and support them, despite the large number of stereotypes and prejudices to which they are exposed in society
Possessive Pronouns in Norms and Usage
No full textPosvojne zamjenice služe za pojašnjenje pripada li nešto govornoj, sugovornoj ili negovornoj osobi te se definiraju prema licima. U dijelu rada u kojemu se raspravlja o teoriji pažnja je na početku posvećena vrstama riječi od kojih sve polazi, zatim općenito zamjenicama te na kraju posvojnim zamjenicama i njihovoj sklonidbi. Drugi dio rada temeljen je na provedenom istraživanju o posvojnim zamjenicama. Upitniku je pristupilo 106 ispitanika, a prikupljeni su odgovori raščlanjeni s obzirom na razinu obrazovanja te materinsko narječje. Upitnik je sadržavao dva tipa zadatka te se svaki zadatak sastojao od deset rečenica. Na kraju su prikazani rezultati svih ispitanika te se uvidjelo koji su zadatak ispitanici bolje riješili, a koji su im primjeri predstavljali problem. Cilj istraživanja bio je prosuditi poznaju li ispitanici normu hrvatskoga standardnog jezika i služe li se njome. Svrha istraživanja bila je uvidjeti najčešće pogreške ispitanika pri uporabi posvojnih zamjenica. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su ispitanici uspješniji bili u drugome zadatku u kojemu su birali jedan od dva ponuđena odgovora, nego u prvome zadatku u kojemu su sami morali nadopuniti traženi oblik posvojne zamjenice. Iako su bili uspješniji u drugome zadatku, ukupni rezultati istraživanja poražavajući su te dokazuju da vrlo malo ispitanika poznaje normu hrvatskoga standardnog jezika. Stoga bi pri oblikovanju kurikula trebalo voditi računa o zastupljenosti jezičnih sadržaja ne samo na prijamnoj nego i na proizvodnoj razini te povećati broj sati posvećenih pisanom izražavanju.Possessive pronouns are used to clarify whether something belongs to the speaking, conversational or non-speaking person and are defined according to persons. In the part of the paper where the theory is discussed, attention is firstly devoted to the types of words from which everything starts, then to pronouns in general, and finally to possessive pronouns and their declension. The second part of the paper is based on the conducted research on possessive pronouns. The questionnaire was answered by 106 respondents, and the collected answers were broken down with regard to the level of education and the native dialect. The questionnaire contained two types of tasks and each task consisted of ten sentences. At the end, the results of all respondents were presented, and it became clear which task the respondents solved better, and which examples were a problem for them. The goal of the research was to judge whether the respondents know the norm of the Croatian standard language and whether they use it. The purpose of the research was to see the most common errors of respondents when using possessive pronouns. The results of the research showed that the respondents were more successful in the second task, in which they chose one of the two offered answers, than in the first task, in which they themselves had to complete the required form of the possessive pronoun. Although they were more successful in the second task, the overall results of the research are devastating and prove that very few respondents know the norm of the Croatian standard language. Therefore, when designing the curriculum, one should take into account the representation of language content not only at the reception level, but also at the production level, and increase the number of hours devoted to written expression
Love, marriage and family in Hartmanns “Gregorius”
No full textDie vorliegende Diplomarbeit befasst sich mit den Themen Liebe, Ehe und Familie in Hartmanns Werk Gregorius. Das dominierende Motiv ist die unermesslich große Schuld der Protagonisten und die darauf folgende Buße, die endlich Gottes Gnade und Vergebung sowie Erhebung zur Folge hat. Es wird über die Sünde des Inzests geschrieben. Die Abwendung vom Weltlichen führt näher zu Gott, was ein Zeichen aufrichtiger Reue und Opferbereitschaft ist. Die Schuldverhältnisse nach dem Inzest sind auch ein wichtiges Element in dieser Diplomarbeit. Es werden komplizierte Familienverhältnisse aufgezeigt, die in der Folge zum Inzest führen und den Weg zu neuen Sünden ebnen. Wahre Reue und Liebe zu Gott führen den Protagonisten trotz der schweren Sünde zur Heiligkeit und dazu, dass er Papst wird. Die Legende zeigt somit, dass der Sinn des Lebens ist, in Gemeinschaft mit Gott zu leben. Der Mensch lehnt sich gegenüber Gott auf oder ist ihm gegenüber gleichgültig. Die Sünde gegen Gott führt zu einem falschen Verhältnis zum Mitmenschen und zu sich selbst. Gregorius verpflichtet sich zu einer radikalen, vorbildlichen und vor allem freiwilligen Buße. Die Geschichte von Gregorius zeigt, dass keine Sünde zu groß ist, als dass sie nicht von Gott vergeben werden könnte und dass Liebe, Ehe und Familie eine große Rolle dabei spielen.Ovaj diplomski rad bavi se temama ljubavi, braka i obitelji u Hartmannovom djelu „Gregorius“. Dominirajući motiv je neizmjerna krivnja protagonista i iz nje proizašlo ne izmjerno pokajanje, koje u konačnici rezultira Božjom milošću i oprostom, ali i uzdizanjem. Također je pripovijedano o grijehu incesta ili rodoskvrnuća. Okretanje od svjetovnog vodi bliže k Bogu, što predstavlja znak iskrenog kajanja i žrtve. Odnosi krivice nakon incesta su također važan element u nastavku diplomskog rada. Prikazani su komplicirani obiteljski odnosi koji potom dovode do incesta I utiru put novim grijesima. Istinsko pokajanje i ljubav prema Bogu vode glavnog junaka do svetosti i k tome da postane papom, unatoč teškom grijehu. Smisao života jest živjeti u zajedništvu s Bogom. Čovjek ili se buni protiv Boga ili je ravnodušan prema Njemu. Grijeh protiv Boga dovodi do pogrešnog odnosa prema bližnjima i prema samom sebi.Gregorius samom sebi nameće svoju pokoru koja je radikalna, uzorna i nadasve dobrovoljno poduzeta. Priča o Gregoriusu pokazuje da nijedan grijeh nije toliko velik, a da ga Bog ne bi mogao oprostiti i da ljubav, brak i obitelj u tome igraju veliku ulogu.The master thesis deals with the theme of love, marriage and family in Hartmann´s work “Gregorius”. The dominant motive of the work is the immense protagonists guilt, and from it came immense repentance, which ultimately resulted in God´s grace, forgiveness and elevation. The thesis also covers the sin of incest or defilement. Turning away from the worldly leads closer to God, which is a sign of sincere repentance and sacrifice. The guilt after incest is also an important element in the continuation of the thesis. Complicated family relationships are shown, which then lead to incest and afterwards they pave the way for new sins. True repentance and love for God lead the protagonist to holiness and to becoming a pope, despite his grave sin. The meaning of life is to live as one with God. Man either rebels against God or is indifferent to Him. Sin against God leads to a wrong attitude towards others and towards oneself. Gregorius imposes his penance on himself, which is radical, exemplary and, above all, undertaken voluntarily. The story of Gregorius shows that no sin is so great that God could not forgive it and love, marriage and family play a big role in that

Montenegrin society during the aggression against the Republic of Croatia
No full textU radu se daje prikaz javnog djelovanja osoba iz crnogorskog političkog i društvenog života tijekom crnogorskog sudjelovanja u agresiji na Republiku Hrvatsku tijekom 1991. i 1992. godine. Stavovi crnogorskih političkih i kulturnih djelatnika prema crnogorskom sudjelovanju u agresiji na Republiku Hrvatsku bili su podijeljeni, pri čemu ta podjela vuče svoje korijene na početku 20. stoljeća. Od početka 20. stoljeća postoje dvije suprotstavljene političke frakcije unutar Crne Gore, koje i danas postoje. Jedna je politička linija za posebnu crnogorsku naciju i državnu posebnost, koja je imala i danas ima dobre odnose s hrvatskom politikom. S druge strane politička linija koja zastupa tezu o srpstvu Crnogoraca i želi Crnu Goru čvrsto vezati uz Srbiju koja je u 19. stoljeću razvila velikosrpski projekt koji u sebi sadrži teritorijalne pretenzije na hrvatski i crnogorski teritorij. Tijekom crnogorskog sudjelovanja u agresiji na Republiku Hrvatsku početkom 90-ih godina, procrnogorska politička opcija bila je u oporbi, protiv rata i branila je crnogorsku nacionalnu ideju. Međutim, na vlasti je bila prosrpska politička opcija kao zagovornik rata i srpskog nacionalnog karaktera Crne Gore. Osobe iz društvenog i kulturnog života su bile podijeljene između navedene dvije opcije, ali s razlikom da su procrnogorski kulturni i društveni djelatnici bili cenzurirani i progonjeni.The paper provides an overview of the public work of persons belonging to Montenegrin political and social life during the Montenegrin participation in the aggression on the Republic of Croatia in 1991 and 1992. The attitudes of Montenegrin political and cultural actors on Montenegro’s involvement in the aggression on the Republic of Croatia were divided, with the division having its origins in the early 20th century. Since the beginning of the 20th century two opposing political factions have existed within Montenegro. One political option is in favour of a distinct Montenegrin nation and statehood, which has been in good relations with Croatian politics up to this day. On the other hand, there is a political option that supports the thesis that Montenegrins belong to the Serbian ethnos. It also strives to strengthen bonds with Serbia, which developed the Greater Serbian Project in the 19th century that claims Croatian and Montenegrin territories. During the Montenegrin participation in the aggression on the Republic of Croatia in the early 1990s, the Pro-Montenegrin political option formed parliamentary opposition, held anti-war views and upheld the Montenegrin national idea. However, the warmongering Pro-Serbian political option held power and supported the Serbian national identity of Montenegro. Persons coming from Montenegro’s social and cultural life were divided between the two political options, the difference being that ProMontenegrin cultural and social actors suffered censorship and persecutio
Youth dating violence: The role of childhood abuse and parental attachment style
No full textNasilje u mladenačkim vezama je prijetnja ili čin fizičkog, emocionalnog ili seksualnog nasilja između dvoje ljudi koji su u partnerskoj vezi. Zlostavljanje u djetinjstvu uključuje fizičko nasilje, emocionalno nasilje, seksualno nasilje, fizičko zanemarivanje i emocionalno zanemarivanje djeteta. Privrženost je jaka emocionalna veza između djeteta i onoga tko se brine o njemu, najčešće roditelja ili skrbnika. Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio utvrditi doprinos iskustva zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu i dimenzija privrženosti roditeljima u objašnjenju doživljavanja i počinjenja različitih oblika nasilja u mladenačkim vezama. U istraživanju je sudjelovao 171 ispitanik iz Republike Hrvatske od čega je 136 bilo ženskih, a 35 muških ispitanika. Dobni raspon se kretao od 19 do 29 godina. Istraživanje je provedeno online, a korišteni su Inventar iskustva u bliskim vezama (Kamenov i Jelić, 2003), Upitnik trauma u djetinjstvu (Bernstein, 2003) i Multidimenzionalna skala nasilja u vezi (García-Carpintero-Muñoz i sur., 2022). Obradom rezultata utvrđena je značajna pozitivna povezanost između svih oblika zlostavljanja u djetinjstvu i doživljavanja i počinjenja nasilja u vezi, osim povezanosti između emocionalnog zanemarivanja i doživljavanja nasilja putem interneta i kontrole i nadzora te počinjenja kontrole i nadzora, fizičkog nasilja i seksualnog nasilja. Također je utvrđena značajna pozitivna povezanost između dimenezija privrženosti roditeljima i doživljavanja i počinjenja nasilja u vezi, osim povezanosti između dimenzije anksioznosti i doživljavanja kontrole i nadzora, doživljavanja i počinjenja fizičkog nasilja te dimenzije izbjegavanja i počinjenja kontrole i nadzora i seksualnog nasilja. Što se tiče doprinosa različitih oblika zlostavljanja u nasilju na doživljavanje nasilja u vezi, pokazalo se da je emocionalno nasilje značajan prediktor doživljavanja psiho-emocionalnog nasilja, seksualno nasilje je značajan prediktor doživljavanja kontrole i nadzora, psiho-emocionalnog nasilja, fizičkog nasilja i seksualnog nasilja te da je fizičko zanemarivanje značajan prediktor doživljavanja fizičkog nasilja. Za počinjenje se pokazalo da je emocionalno nasilje značajan prediktor počinjenja kontrole i nadzora i psiho-emocionalnog nasilja te da je seksualno nasilje značajan prediktor počinjenja fizičkog i seksualnog nasilja. Što se tiče doprinosa privrženosti roditeljima, dimenzija izbjegavanja je značajan prediktor za sve vrste doživljavanja nasilja u vezi, a dimenzija anksioznosti je značajan prediktor doživljavanja psiho-emocionalnog nasilja. Također, dimenzija izbjegavanja je značajan prediktor počinjenja psiho-emocionalnog nasilja, a dimenzija anksioznosti je značajan prediktor počinjenja nasilja putem interneta, kontrole i nadzora te seksualnog nasilja.Youth dating violence is a threat or act of physical, emotional or sexual violence between two people who are in a relationship. Childhood abuse includes physical violence, emotional violence, sexual violence, physical neglect, and emotional neglect of a child. Attachment is a strong emotional bond between a child and someone who cares for them, usually a parent or a guardian. The aim of this research was to determine the contribution of childhood abuse and parental attachment in explaining victimization and perpetration of various forms of violence in youth relationships. 171 subjects from the Republic of Croatia took part in the research, of which 136 were female and 35 were male. The age range was from 19 to 29 years. The research was conducted online, and the Inventory of Experience in Close Relationships (Kamenov and Jelić, 2003), Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (Bernstein, 2003) and Multidimensional Scale of Dating Violence (García-CarpinteroMuñoz et al., 2022) were used. Results revealed a significant positive connection between all forms of childhood abuse and victimization and perpetrating of violence in a relationship, except for correlation between emotional neglect and victimization of cyber violence and control and supervision, and perpetration of control and supervision, physical violence and sexual violence. A significant positive correlation was also found between parental attachment and victimization and perpetration of violence in a relationship, except for correlation between anxiety dimension and victimization of control and supervision, victimization and perpetration of physical violence and avoidance dimension and perpetration of control and supervision and sexual violence. Regarding the contribution of childhood abuse on dating violence, childhood emotional violence is a significant predictor of victimization of psycho-emotional violence, sexual violence is a significant predictor of victimization of control and supervision, psycho-emotional violence, physical violence and sexual violence, and that physical neglect is a significant predictor of victimization of physical violence. For perpetration, it was shown that emotional violence is a significant predictor of perpetration of control and supervision and psycho-emotional violence, and that sexual violence is a significant predictor of perpetration of physical and sexual violence. Regarding the contribution of parental attachment, avoidance dimension is a significant predictor for all types of victimization in dating violence, while anxiety dimension is a significant predictor of victimization of psycho-emotional violence. Also, avoidance dimension is a significant predictor of perpetration of psycho-emotional violence, and anxiety dimension is a significant predictor of perpetration of cyber violence, control and surveillance, and sexual violence
Refrigerated Containers
No full textNa početku rada opisuje se pojava brodskih kontejnera te s njima i početak izrade kontejnerskih brodova, a kasnije se rad bazira na rashladnim kontejnerima. Možemo vidjeti redoslijed razvoja kontejnerskih brodova od samih početaka do današnjice prema veličini i njihovom kapacitetu za prijevoz tereta. Objašnjene su opće bitne stavke koje su vezane za rashladni kontejner, odnosno fizikalne pojave tijekom radnog ciklusa rashladnog kontejnera te osnovni elementi potrebni za taj ciklus, teret koji se prevozi u rashladnim kontejnerima, opisan je rad dvaju različith tipova kontejnera (integralni rashladni kontejner i kontejner s otvorima za dovod i odvod zraka), te njihova usporedba. Na kraju se opisuje svrha, nastanak i razvoj brodova za hlađene terete.At the beginning of the work, the emergence of shipping containers and the subsequent creation of container ships are described. The work late focuses on refrigerated containers. We can observe the chronological development of container ships from their inception to the present day, based on their size and cargo capacity. The general key aspects related to refrigerated containers are explained, including the physical phenomena during the working 36 cycle of a refrigerated container and the basic elements required for this cycle. The types of cargo transported in refrigerated containers are also described. The operation of two different types of containers (integral refrigerated containers and porthole containers) is explained, along with a comparison of those two types. Finally, the purpose, origin and development of ships for refrigerated cargo are discussed
Parental Involvement and Support in Children's Education
No full textTema ovog rada je roditeljska uključenost i podrška u obrazovanju djece. Za potrebe ovog diplomskog rada proveden je istraživanje mišljenja i uvjerenja roditelja djece 4. razreda osnovne škole. Cilj istraživanja je ispitati, opisati i analizirati mišljenje i uvjerenja roditelja o njihovoj emocionalnoj i kognitivnoj uključenosti i ulaganju u obrazovanje svoje djece te na koje prepreke nailaze. Ispitana je njihova percepcija osnovnih pojmova, smatraju li jesu li dovoljno uključeni te na koje načine se uključuju u obrazovanje svoje djece. Načini uključenja i poteškoće na koje roditelji nailaze su kategorizirani po tematskim grupama uključenja kod kuće i u školi. Roditelji se najčešće uključuju kod kuće, a najveća prepreka im je nedostatak vremena i komunikacija sa školom. Roditelji su dali svoje mišljenje o ulozi škole u roditeljskoj uključenosti i prijedloge za njeno unaprjeđenje. Neki se roditelji žele više uključiti u rad škole, žele partnerstvo s učiteljima i uložiti što više vremena, truda i napora u obrazovanje svoje djece. Ostali smatraju da bi tradicionalna, minimalna suradnja bila najbolja kako bi svatko što bolje ostvario svoju ulogu. Raznolikost odgovora roditelja ukazuje na potrebu za raznolikošću pristupa kojim učitelji i drugi stručni suradnici škole pristupaju roditeljima. Kvalitetnim partnerskim odnosom roditelji i škola mogu doći do suglasnosti o oblicima roditeljske uključenosti koji odgovaraju roditeljima, ali i potrebama škole. Rad škole i uključenost roditelja povezani su istim ciljem, dobrobit djeteta te putem usmjerenosti na isti cilj mogu doprinijeti unaprjeđenju kvalitete školovanja za dijete.The topic of this paper is parental involvement and support in childrens’ education. For the purposes of this thesis, an interview of the opinions and beliefs of parents of children in the 4th grade of elementary school was conducted. The aim of the research is to examine, describe and analyse the opinions and beliefs of parents about their emotional and cognitive involvement and investment in their children's education and what obstacles they encounter. Their perception of basic concepts was examined whether they think they are sufficiently involved and in what ways they are involved in their children's education. Ways of involvement and difficulties that parents encounter were categorized by thematic groups of involvement at home and at school. Parents are most often involved at home, and their biggest obstacle is the lack of time and communication with the school. Parents gave their opinion on the role of the school in parental involvement and suggestions for its improvement. Some parents want to be more involved in the work of the school, they want a partnership with teachers and invest as much time and effort as possible in the education of their children. The others believe that traditional, minimal partnership would be best so that everyone can fulfil their role as best as possible. The variety of parents' responses indicates the need for variety of approaches by which teachers and other professional associates of the school approach parents. With a quality partnership, parents and the school can reach an agreement on the forms of parental involvement that suit the parents, but also the needs of the school. The work of the school and the involvement of parents relate to the same goal, the well-being of the child, and by focusing on the same goal, they can contribute to the improvement of the quality of education for the child
