Abstract

Političko znanje građana ima važnu ulogu u procesu održavanja demokratske kulture. Ono doprinosi povećanju političke participacije, povjerenja u institucije, kritičkom razmišljanju o političkim zbivanjima i rastu tolerancije u društvu. Prijašnja istraživanja u Hrvatskoj pokazala su da mladi posjeduju nisku razinu političkog znanja što na dugoročne staze dovodi u pitanje opstanak demokratskih vrijednosti. Cilj ovog rada bio je proširiti literaturu koja se bavi mjerenjem političkog znanja u Hrvatskoj. Rezultati dobiveni anketnim pokazuju da studenti Sveučilišta u Zagrebu u prosjeku pokazuju površnu razinu političkog znanja. Ovakav zaključak može se protumačiti nizom utjecaja poput statusa obrazovnog sustava, utjecaja medija, ili kvalitetom rada institucija. S obzirom na ograničenja ovog rada poput vremenskog okvira i resursa, isti može poslužiti kao izvor korisnih podataka za potencijalna buduća istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

Political knowledge has an important place in process of maintaining democratic culture. It fosters growth of political participation, trust in institutions, critical thinking of current events and as well, growth of tolerance in society. Previous researches in Croatia showed that young people possess low level of political knowledge, which brings into question maintenance of democratic values in the long run. Aim of this research was to expand literature which measures political knowledge in Croatia. Results show that University of Zagreb students possess superficial level of political knowledge. This conclusion can be explained through various factors like the status of the education system, media influence or level of institutional quality. Given the limitations of this work such as time frame and resources, it can serve as a source of useful data for potential future research.
