Abstract

Rad je podijeljen u dvije cjeline od kojih prvi dio obrađuje teorijsku analizu stručnih praksi u
visokom obrazovanju, razmatraju se različiti tipovi stručne prakse te se analizira zastupljenost
stručne prakse u Hrvatskom visokom obrazovanju. Također prikazuju se glavni nalazi
istraživanja stjecanja kompetencija u obrazovanju na primjeru polaznika Erasmus+ stručne
prakse u Hrvatskoj te glavni rezultati istraživanja motivatora za odlazak na stručnu praksu u
Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu. Nadalje, analizira se stručna praksa u kontekstu Erasmus+
programa, te se u sklopu toga prezentira analiza na sekundarnim podacima Erasmus+ stručne
prakse pri Sveučilištu u Zagrebu u periodu od 2015./ 2016. do 2020./ 2021. godine. Također,
važno mjesto u radu zauzima poglavlje o AIESEC stručnim studentskim praksama.
Drugi dio rada temelji se na empirijskom istraživanju provedenom u siječnju 2023. godine u
kojem su sudjelovali polaznici međunarodnih stručnih studentskih praksi (Erasmus+ i
AIESEC) te njihovom viđenju korisnosti stručne prakse, načinima informiranja o samima,
motivaciji za pohađanje navedenih studentskih praksi te o njezinim korisnostima. Također
provjeravala se i povezanost zaposlenja i iskustva međunarodne studentske prakse kroz sferu
stečenih kompetencija. Drugim riječima, ispitana je samoprocjena o mogućim korisnostima
iskustva studentske prakse prilikom zaposlenja.

professional practice in higher education, different types of professional practice are

analyzed. Also presented are the main findings of the research on the acquisition of
competences in education on the example of Erasmus+ trainees in Croatia and the main results
of the research on motivators for going on a traineeship in the United Kingdom. Furthermore,
professional practice in the context of the Erasmus+ program is analyzed, and as part of that,
an analysis of secondary data on Erasmus+ professional practice at the University of Zagreb in
the period from 2015/2016 is presented. until 2020/2021 years. Also, an important place in the
work is occupied by the chapter on AIESEC professional student internships.

informing themselves, motivation for attending the aforementioned student internships, and
