摘要：The main goal of study programme improvement is to ensure development of all competencies required for adequate professional practice and development. In the academic year 2010/2011 the study program of Early and Preschool Care and Education at the Faculty of Teacher Education in Rijeka offered to its students an elective course in Developmental Psychopathology for the first time. The aim of this study was to analyse the attitudes of the future preschool teachers about their role in preserving mental health of preschool children and about purposefulness of the offered course. Thirty-two students (2 male and 30 female, average age 22 years) participated in the study. A poll of 15 closed-ended questions was administered. The participation in the study was voluntarily and anonymous, and it lasted for about 5 minutes. The results confirmed the hypothesis about usefulness and adequacy of the new elecSanja tive course in creating competencies that future preschool teachers need to preserve mental health in preschool children. All evaluations have ranked high and very high, which shows that: a) future preschool teachers are highly sensitive to their preventive role in the early detection of risk behaviour in preschool children; b) future preschool teachers think that their competencies in preserving children’s mental health have been improved; c) these two implications were made possible due to the course in Developmental Psychopathology that they attended.
