Among their professional requirements, they have been legally bound to counsel parents since 2008. However, no other documents or papers in Croatia describe or specify what counselling entails.  \nThe present research explored 136 preschool teachers and their self-assessment of competence in counselling parents. The results indicate that:(a) preschool teachers rate themselves moderately competent in counselling parents; (b) joining the in-service training is related to a higher level of their self-assessment in counselling parents. Although it is evident that they had acquired the competence for counselling parents during their personal and professional development, the in-service training plays the key role in providing it.  \nKeywords: competence, counselling parents, preschool teachers  \n1 *Corresponding Author.

V njem se vzgojiteljice in vzgojitelji spoprijemajo z visokimi profesionalnimi standardi. Od leta 2008 so vzgojiteljice in vzgojitelji pravno zavezani, da svetujejo staršem, kar je ena izmed njihovih številnih nalog. Kljub temu na Hrvaškem ne obstajajo izvedbena pravila ali dokumenti, ki bi opisovali ali podrobnejedoločali sestavine svetovanja. Ta študija je vključila 136 vzgojiteljic/vzgojiteljev in je ocenjevala njihovo predstavo o kompetencah za svetovanje staršem. Rezultati so pokazali, da: a) vzgojitelji sami sebe ocenjujejo kot zmerno kompetentne za svetovanje staršem; b) da je vključevanje v programe izpopolnjevanja povezano z višjo ravnjo samoocene pri svetovanju staršem. Čeprav je očitno, da so vzgojiteljice pridobile kompetenceza svetovanje staršem med osebnim in profesionalnim razvojem, programi izpopolnjevanja kljub temu igrajo ključno vlogo pri zagotavljanjutovrstnih kompetenc.  \nKljučne besede: kompetence, svetovanje staršem, vzgojitelji  \nIntroduction  \nCroatian Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC), known as ‘preschool education’, is governed by the Law of Preschool Education (1997) . It is a unique system under the aegis of the Ministry of Science, Education, and Sport and is financed by the local community. Unlike most European countries, e.g. Austria, Belgium, Germany, France, Ireland (Oberhuemer, Schreyer, & Neuman, 2010), Croatian preschool institutions include children from the age of six months to the start of primary school (average 6.5 years) . These institutions are called preschools3 and the professionals who work there are called preschool teachers.4 They spend 5.5 hours a day working directly in a same-age or mixedage group of children, with a weekly total of 27.5 hours (68.25%) of work (The State Pedagogical Standard of Preschool Education, 2008; a29) . Other weekly duties in the remaining 12.5 hours (31.25%) include their preparation for work, cooperation with parents, and in-service training. The qualifications of almost all employed preschool teachers range from college to master’s degrees. Their education has a long tradition and has been organised at the university level since 1969/70 (Babić & Kuzma, 2003) . It has gone through numerous transformations of institutions prov","cbCaincxLCgnXSOY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaincxLCgnXSOY","pdf",169778,17,"English","# Introduction\n## Counselling and its definitions\n## Preschool education context in Croatia","[{\"question\":\"How was the study conducted and who participated?\",\"answer\":\"The research involved 136 preschool teachers and collected their self-assessments regarding competence for counselling parents.\"},{\"question\":\"What competence level did preschool teachers report for counselling parents?\",\"answer\":\"Preschool teachers rated themselves as moderately competent in counselling parents.\"},{\"question\":\"What impact does in-service training have according to the results?\",\"answer\":\"Joining in-service training is associated with a higher level of teachers’ self-assessed competence for counselling parents.\"}]","Influence of In-service Preschool Teachers’ Education on their Perceived Competences for Counselling Parents | PDF",1792088088,43]
