Sažetak

This study provides a comparison of the relevant aspects of school life before, during and after introducing flexible learning approach in two secondary vocational schools in Croatia: The School of Electrotechnics Zagreb and The Electromechanical School Varaždin. Research methods include comparisons between stocktaking reports and final reports, questionnaires, interviews and focus groups conducted with teachers and students. On such basis, this study presents an exhaustive documentation of various issues associated with each important step in introducing flexible learning model into technical education in Croatia and provides recommendations based on real-life experience in two different contexts. Based on involvement of schools from different parts of Croatia, strong support by national Agency for Vocational Education and Training and European character of the project, authors are convinced that results of this study can be generalized to other secondary technical schools in Croatia and beyond.
