Abstract

[This chapter presents the state of the art of ICT in education in Croatia by focusing on six major elements: policy perspectives, infrastructure, educational resources, ICT integration into practices, students’ ICT competence and teachers’ professional development. The authors describe the role of technological innovation and its potential in transforming Croatian educational landscape, ranging from primary to secondary schools and to a lesser extent the universities. Although local and European Union funds are available and ready to be utilized for educational resource procurement, the priorities in choosing adequate national strategies and infrastructure elements are still discussed, as well as the means of resource integration into everyday teaching and learning practices. This is especially relevant in Croatia, as the gap between students’ digital competences and teachers’ professional development in usage and application of digital technologies is widening.]
