Abstract

IN ENGLISH: In this paper, the role of education in the intellectual, creative and moral development of the child will be confronted with those aspects of the education system challenging that role. With the emphasis on the difficulties education systems have in observing children’s capacities and potentials independently of their gender, certain aspects of the educational reproduction of gender difference will be addressed, whereby in the very focus of our interest will be holders of educational processes in institutions of early childhood and preschool education. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part the ambiguous role of education in contemporary European and Croatian society will be discussed, the ambiguity stemming from the social inability to reconcile the emancipatory aspects of education with its pragmatic role in the economic production of goods. In the second part economic and gender aspects of the teaching profession in Croatia will be emphasized, building upon the understanding of said profession as a paradigmatic example of the inadequacies of solving gender inequality with short-term market interventions instead with substantial changes in social and economic relations. In the third part research results on early childhood and preschool education students’ attitudes toward sex role stereotyping will be presented. It is concluded that students in that field are in most cases egalitarian, but that some of them still have a traditional understanding of gender relations. Finally, future educators’ egalitarian views are confronted with the reality of their feminized, underpaid and marginalized profession. --------------- IN CROATIAN: U ovom će se radu uloga obrazovanja u intelektualnom, kreativnom i moralnom razvoju djeteta suprotstaviti onim aspektima obrazovnog sustava koji tu ulogu dovode u pitanje. Uz naglasak na poteškoće obrazovnih sustava u promatranju dječjih kapaciteta i potencijala neovisno o njihovom rodu, bit će obrađeni određeni aspekti obrazovne reprodukcije rodne razlike, pri čemu će u samom fokusu našeg interesa biti nositelji obrazovnih procesa u ustanovama ranog i predškolskog obrazovanja. Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela. U prvom dijelu raspravljat će se o dvoznačnoj ulozi obrazovanja u suvremenom europskom i hrvatskom društvu, pri čemu dvoznačnost proizlazi iz društvene nemogućnosti usklađivanja emancipacijskih aspekata obrazovanja s njegovom pragmatičnom ulogom u ekonomskoj proizvodnji dobara. U drugom će se dijelu naglasak staviti na ekonomske i rodne aspekte obrazovne profesije u Hrvatskoj, polazeći od razumijevanja te profesije kao paradigmatičnog primjera neadekvatnosti rješavanja rodne nejednakosti kratkoročnim tržišnim intervencijama bez stvarnih promjena u društvenim i ekonomskim odnosima. U trećem dijelu bit će predstavljeni rezultati istraživanja o stavovima studenata ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja o stereotipizaciji rodnih uloga. Zaključeno je da su studentice ranog i predškolskog odgoja i obrazovanja u većini slučajeva egalitarne, ali da neke od njih i dalje posjeduju tradicionalno razumijevanje rodnih odnosa. Konačno, egalitarni pogledi budućih odgojiteljica suprotstavljeni su stvarnosti njihove feminizirane, potplaćene i marginalizirane profesije.
