1. Differences among higher education students from the ICT field : formal education vs. lifelong learningNuša Erman, Nika Robida, Katarina Rojko, 2025, izvirni znanstveni članek Opis: Recovery and resilience plan (RRP) approved by the European Commission fosters the development of lifelong learning programs to upgrade employees’ skills and knowledge for digital and green transitions. Within higher education, the field of information and communication technology (ICT) is also a priority area, so we compared the demographic variables of students enrolled in formal first-cycle higher education programs in ICT with those enrolled in lifelong ICT programs within the framework of the Advanced Computer Skills project funded by the RRP in Slovenia. The results show that formal firstcycle higher education in the field of ICT remains strongly male-dominated, whereas, among participants in lifelong learning, the percentage of females stands out. Bachelor programs in ICT are primarily enrolled by young people aged up to 24 years, while shorter universitybased lifelong learning programs attract mostly older participants with higher completed formal education and from a broader range of prior educational backgrounds. Finally, when all three variables (gender, age and level of prior formal education) are considered, participants in lifelong learning are much more similar to part-time students than full-time bachelor ICT students, although the percentage of men in formal education is still predominant even in part-time studies. The research findings highlight the need for further efforts to offer lifelong learning in ICT to enable individuals to improve their employment prospects, progress in the workplace or even change their field of work.

2. Kosovo Police and its role for peace and stability in the region of South East Europe : doctoral dissertationAgron Hasanaj, 2024, doktorska disertacija Opis: In this doctoral dissertation thesis, we discussed the problem of the Kosovo’s security and the role of the Kosovo Police (KP) since the war of 1998-1999, a time when policing in Kosovo has seen a complete transformation. This dissertation makes a thorough inquiry and draws a roadmap of the KP professional progress and development. We analysed the training and education system and discipline reforms of the KP since its creation on 1999 and its capacities to act in accordance with European police standard ethics. Having in mind the relatively short time since formatted, the research critically examines professional KP gaps in its way of fostering identity and culture of its own. The dissertation explores the existing literature on the subject and aims to expand the research on the field of the Kosovo’s security and its capacity to grant its stable security and export it outside Kosovo, not only to the South East-Europe region. In addition, we evaluated relationships between international and local security actors in Kosovo, revealing the fact that the rivalry, confusion and competition were present for a long time and somehow are still common. Through extensive analysis of laws, reports and official documents, this work attempts to answer the question of how this unusual composition of security forces managed cooperation. Kosovo’s North neighbor - Serbia - with unsparing support of its main allies - Russia and China - has managed to prevent the membership of the Kosovo security institutions on most international security mechanisms, the fundamental one being the membership in the Interpol. This thesis provides recommendations, especially in the fields of training and discipline aspects, intending to reduce the negative effects of relatively short KP experience, while a comprehensive research aspect finds that the possibilities for international co-operation and membership offered to the KP are limited, consequently challenging its effectiveness and professional development in line with European standards.

3. E-LEARNING PLATFORMS IN CORPORATE TRAINING IN THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA: ADOPTION AND EFFECTIVENESSVladimir Šterle, 2024, ni določena Opis: In 2016, there were over 700 learning management systems on the market. The
estimated market value of LMS in 2016 was 2.6 billion US dollars, while in 2017, it
was 5.7 billion US dollars. According to predictions from some sources, the market
value of LMS will grow to over 19 billion US dollars by 2025.
Where are the companies in Croatia using LMS for employee training? The purpose of this
master’s thesis is to investigate this situation, i.e., the adoption and effectiveness of e-learning
platforms for corporate training purposes across various business sectors in Croatia. As
organizational landscapes evolve, driven by technological innovations and market demand,
ongoing education and development of human capital have become crucial for maintaining
competitiveness in business. This research explores how Croatian businesses integrate
e-learning platforms into their training programs and evaluates the perceived efficacy of such
programs compared to traditional training methods. The study is based on quantitative and
qualitative research methodologies, involving a comprehensive survey of 420 respondents
from diverse industries, as well as a focus group and interviews to obtain more detailed
results. The results indicate a significant preference for e-learning due to its cost-effectiveness
and flexibility, which allows learners to engage with learning content on the basis of a
versatile schedule. However, the findings also suggest that e-learning is less accepted than
traditional face-to-face training or teaching, which is still seen as the more effective solution
among Croatian businesses. These insights draw attention to potential improvements in
e-learning strategies, enhanced interactive elements, more effective mentorship, and better
alignment of instructional designs with learner needs to achieve optimal engagement and
learning outcomes. Ključne besede: corporate training, employee education, e-learning, learning management system, distance learning, human resource development, lifelong learning Objavljeno v ReVIS: 17.09.2024; Ogledov: 469; Prenosov: 13
