The technological aspects of teacher's education in European Union

The European Union regards the quality of teacher’ s education as one of the most important features of the learning society. The diversities of educational systems and curricula of studies that exist in Europe give rise to the question of how to “ fit” in the European educational system – especially into higher education, how to harmonize it so that it should incorporate national differences and ensure the quality of education, all in concordance with the Lisbon Strategy and Bologna Declaration. In order to enter the European educational space, in the year 2005/06, the Croatian government (Ministry of education) introduced the ECTS system into every higher education curriculum. Intensive activities related to the new educational concept have been under way at teacher training colleges, aimed at achieving the reform of curricula and taking into consideration a basic principles of Bologna Process. The paper emphasizes that this transformation and modernisation of curricula should not be possible without the incorporation of the basic indicators of the education quality that the EU prescribes, and one of them is the introduction of modern teaching technology and technological contents. The paper analyses not only the technological, but also the pedagogical aspects of teachers’ education taking into consideration the statement that the preparation of teachers for daily life and the reality of a new European Union is based on defining, instituting and the development of the new model of teacher education – European education that the future of Europe will depend upon.
