The subject of thesis' research is the examination of the approach to upbringing in geography teachers of the Republic of Croatia. A special emphasis has been put on examining the differences based on the teachers' demographic factors and the factors of the school conditions. The upbringing goals of geography teaching have been analysed considering the legal framework of education and upbringing in the Republic of Croatia. Furthermore, a review of the upbringing potential of the most prominent upbringing goals of geography teaching has been provided. The results of the research show that the experience of the teachers and the average class size do not coorelate with the differences in the approach to upbringing, while the differences are the most prominent with respect to the teachers' gender, the type of school, and the type of settlement and macroregion the school is located in. The most differences are noticable in the frequency of realisation of some upbringing goals and the frequency of use of methods in the realization of upbringing goals.
