VISOKOŠKOLSKO OBRAZOVANJE IZ UGLA KONCEPTA LJUDSKOG KAPITALA
HIGHER EDUCATION FROM THE VIEWPOINT OF THE HUMAN CAPITAL CONCEPT

Summary/Abstract: Within the study of the relationship between pedagogy and other sciences, traditionally the primary importance is given to the relationship of pedagogy and philosophy, sociology, psychology, and anthropology, as the sciences close by the subject and methodology . This paper starts from the assumption that the relationship between pedagogy and economics should not be neglected in modern conditions. Contemporary education faces many challenges and changes which are primarily conditioned by the process of globalization, as well as the influences of neoliberal ideology. The aim of the paper is to consider the importance of human capital as a theoretical approach in the context of studying the globalization of education, which increasingly gains the importance, especially in the context of the discipline of higher education. However, the increasing importance of economic aspects in education has also resulted in a number of negative criticisms. As a conclusion of the paper, it is emphasized that education in general and higher education in particular, is increasingly getting an approach from the economic perspective. Although this process is inevitable, primarily as a consequence of globalization, precisely in order to preserve the humanistic dimension of education, it is important to understand many challenges and changes, which face the process of higher education.
