Abstract

The paper investigates the representation of subjects in the field of institutional education of preschool children in the pedagogy study programs at the Faculty of Philosophy, University of Nis. Within the theoretical part, the paper presents the development of pedagogy study programs, from its establishment until today, at all three levels of study, with special reference to the subjects that are directed toward the education of future pedagogues in the field of preschool education. The paper uses a descriptive method and content analysis technique. The basic units of analysis are the status of subjects and the number of classes. The results of the analysis showed that the subjects related to the education of preschool children are present in all study programs and at all levels of study. The findings indicate that the largest number of changes in the status of subjects and the number of classes marked study programs at the level of bachelor academic studies, while significantly smaller changes are present at the level of master’s and doctoral academic studies. The obtained results can be a starting point for future research in order to create study programs in the next cycles of accreditation.
