- Abstract
Foster parent education is the basis for the effective prevention of difficulties in the adjustment and functioning of a foster child and its foster family and forms the basis for ensuring proper conditions for the quality development of the child in the foster family. Foster care education represents a complex process of preparation and development of specific competencies of potential foster parents and strengthening the competencies of existing foster parents for more successful coping with the challenges of foster care and provide quality care to the foster child. The aim of the article is to offer an overview of the main results of previous studies on the content, organizational aspects, and outcomes of different models of foster care education as well as to present a systematic overview thereof. Based on the analysis of various criteria, the paper presents different classifications of existing models of foster care education that can be used by practitioners and researchers for further analysis of practice in this field. The guidelines for the improvement of the education system of foster parents in Croatia were highlighted in the conclusion.
