Osposobljavanje univerzitetskih nastavnika za efikasniji odgojno-obrazovni rad kroz upotrebu kognitivno-bihevioralnih principa terapijskog rada

Attitudes of students towards education represent one the most important determinants of their motivation for learning and academic success. Possession of tools for modification of those attitudes, when they prevent academic participation and success, would simplify the rearing and teaching role of teachers. Since cognitive therapy is highly efficient approach of changing behaviour by changing beliefs (including attitudes), the adaption of its basic principles and techniques in education context regarding modification of relevant attitudes, as well as education of teachers in the filed of cognition-based techniques, could satisfy the need for such a tool. Here we present the theoretical elaboration of possibilities to integrate the principles and techniques of cognitive therapy into educational process in order to facilitate change of attitudes which can inconveniently affect academic inclusion and success of students.
