Abstract

Glavni cilj ovog rada bio je utvrđivanje je li došlo do integracije pojmovnog okvira ili modela trokuta znanja s razine EU u sustav visokog obrazovanja u Hrvatskoj. Osnovna pretpostavka bila je da povezanost obrazovanja, istraživanja i inovacije kakvu pretpostavlja trokut znanja još ne postoji u praksi na razini hrvatskog sustava visokog obrazovanja. Kombinacijom kvalitativne analize sadržaja ključnog policy dokumenta obrazovne reforme i kvantitativne analize indikatora vezanih uz obrazovanje, istraživanje i inovaciju, utvrđeno je kako zasad nema dokaza za integrirajuće povezivanje obrazovanja, istraživanja i inovacije na način predviđen trokutom znanja te da koraci u tom smjeru tek trebaju biti poduzeti kroz provođenje Akcijskog plana Strategije obrazovanja, znanosti i tehnologije, kao i prilagodbu koncepta specifičnim uvjetima hrvatskog ekonomskog sustava. Relativno ograničenje zaključaka ove studije treba biti uzeto u obzir budući da je trokut znanja prije svega praktičan, a ne teorijski koncept te bi šire kvalitativno istraživanje praksi visokoobrazovnih institucija moglo pružiti okvir za bolje razumijevanje i donošenje konačnih zaključaka.

Abstract (english)

The main aim of this paper was to determine whether the conceptual framework of knowledge triangle has been integrated from the EU level into the higher education system in Croatia. The basic premise was that the link between education, research and innovation, as presumed in the knowledge triangle, is not yet present in practice in the Croatian higher education system. By combining qualitative analysis of a key policy document of educational reform in Croatia and quantitative analysis of indicators related to education, research and innovation, it has been established that there is currently no evidence suggesting the integrative link between education, research and innovation envisaged by the knowledge triangle and that steps in this direction are still to be taken through the implementation of the Action Plan of the Education, Science and Technology Strategy, as well as by adapting the concept to the specific conditions of the Croatian economic system. Relative limitation of the conclusions of this study should be taken into account since the knowledge triangle is first and foremost a practical rather than a theoretical concept, and a wider qualitative research of the practices of Croatian higher education institutions would be needed in order to provide a framework for better understanding and drawing definite conclusions regarding this matter.
