Social Sciences - Education / Pedagogy
Croatian term or phrase: smjer
Nikako ne uspijevam naći dobar prijevod za SMJER u visokoškolskom obrazovanju. Naime, riječ SMJER ima dva značenja: a) npr. ekonomija, smjer: vanjska trgovina. Tu se još snalazim s recimo FIELD OF STUDY ili SPECIALIZATION.
No postoji i smjer b) nastavnički ili znanstveni. Tu nikako ne bih stavila FIELD OF STUDY a ni SPECIALIZATION. Nekako se snalazim s PROGRAMME: educational study programme and research oriented study (nastavnički i znanstveni smjer), ali nisam zadovoljna time.
