20.500.12556/RUL-162989 Preschool education in Slovenia and Serbia in the light of the OECD, WB and EU guidelines for Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) Both the professional and political spheres have emphasised the association between ECEC and economic performance since international organisations, such as the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development, the World Bank and European Union institutions, first expressed interest in this linkage. This study shows how the relationship between ECEC and economic outcomes is reflected in the guidelines that international organisations expect countries to follow and how this connection is relevant to the modification of legal documents that define ECEC functioning and guide its application in the field of education. The study provides a comparative analysis of the differences between the goals in legislation and curricula, as well as of the quality evaluation models of preschool education, in Slovenia and Serbia. The analysis shows that international organisations guidelines have been considered in the two countries’ preschool education systems, albeit in different ways and using different formal documents. early childhood education and care ECEC preschool education human capital Slovenia Serbia predšolska vzgoja predšolska pedagogika človeški kapital Slovenija Srbija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2024-09-30 11:40:53 2024-09-30 11:40:59 2025-11-20 04:29:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 Str. 1294–1311 no. 7 Vol. 55 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 373.2 1469-3623 10.1080/03057925.2024.2393135 206526979 Preschool_education_in_Slovenia_and_Serbia_in_the_light_of_the_OECD__WB_and_EU_guidelines_for_Early_Childhood_Education_and_Care__ECEC_.pdf Preschool_education_in_Slovenia_and_Serbia_in_the_light_of_the_OECD__WB_and_EU_guidelines_for_Early_Childhood_Education_and_Care__ECEC_.pdf 1 30B313002D037FBAA13825AFD6FDDCCA 763e24dc77a6c95a77cc9337dd6a41b1656280843aa21c357302f02412c2cb38 eb2b2edf-c551-11f0-9328-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=222123 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03057925.2024.2393135 1 f4c52e53-7f0f-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=192439 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
