Project description
The main purpose of the project Croatian students in the European context: The emerging social elite is to determine, describe and interpret the social profile of students at the beginning of implementation of the Bologna declaration into Croatian higher education, the level and characteristics of their readiness for integration into modern European processes, and resources they have as a future social elite. This research aims to investigate and understand dominant attitudes and values, motivation for acquiring knowledge, life and professional aspirations and lifestyles of students in new social circumstances, marked by the process of Croatian accession to the EU, which includes the transformation of higher education. At that, we approach students as a social group that will be used for recruitment of a new social elite in Croatia, which is why it is necessary to determine the resources they have with emphasis on creative and innovative potentials. Also, since students are an avant-garde of youth, the insight into new trends among them will represent the basis for prediction and better understanding of the direction of changes to happen in the Croatian young population in the coming years, which is especially important for the tempo and quality of integration into the united Europe.
