Education of the Yugoslav Peasantry in the Era of Sdence

Polazeći od procesa scijentizacije kao konsekvence znanstvene i tehnološke revolucije, koji rezultira profesionalizacijom poljoprivrednog rada na obiteljskom posjedu i urgentno nalaže oblikovanje primjerenoga cjelovitog sistema profesionalnog obrazovanja poljoprivrednika, te od činjenice da je razvoj vitalnoga individualnog posjeda (gospodarstva) pretpostavka izlaza seljaštva i poljoprivrede u Jugoslaviji iz krize, autor propituje efekte scijentizacije na profesionalizaciju poljoprivrednog zanimanja, obrazovne pretpostavke budućega individualnog poljoprivrednika i, koristeći rezultate sekundarne analize provedenih istraživanja, utvrđuje obrazovnu situaciju seljaštva u Jugoslaviji kao realnu pretpostavku sudjelovanja u započetoj i očekivanoj transformaciji individualne poljoprivredne proizvodnje. Analizom aspekata scijentizacije poljoprivredne proizvodnje (ukupnost konsekvencija očekivanih• znanstvenih i tehnoloških prodora po predmet, sredstva, način, strukturu, organizaciju i karakter rada), autor pokazuje pravac i brzinu profesionalizacije i dokazuje ključnu ulogu znanja kao tzv. konačnog resursa, a time i neophodnost formiranja stručnog obrazovanja poljoprivrednika, jednoga od važnih odgovora na buduće izazove . Rezultati istraživanja provedenih na uzorcima poljoprivrednog pomlatka i poljoprivrednih domaćinstava te obrade podataka popisa stanovništva, potvrđuju da je obrazovna struktura poljoprivrednika daleko nepovoljnija od istovrsne strukture drugih kategorija aktivnog stanovništva u Jugoslaviji, ali i da postoji afirmativan stav prema potrebi uvođenja posebnoga stručnog obrazovanja za poljoprivrednike. Na osnovi analize dosadašnjeg osposobljavanja poljoprivrednika i prethodnih rezultata, autor iznosi osnovne elemente produktivnoga stručnog osposobljavanja koje bi omogućilo fleksibilan i stvaran odgovor na izazove transformacije poljoprivrednog rada i proizvodnje.The process of scientification is a consequence of the third scientific and technological revolution and has resulted in the professiona!ization of agricultural work on the family farm. This makes it urgent to form an adequate and complete system for the professional education of farmers. It is also a fact that the development of a vital private farm is a pre-condition for farmers and agriculture in Yugoslavia to overcome the crisis. Taking the above mentioned as a starting point, the author investigates the effects of scientification on the professionalization of agriculture as a calling, and the education of the future farmer. Using the resu Its of a secondary analysis of earlier researches on the farmers demand and the farmers professional training practice, he establishes the educational circumstances of farmers in Yugoslavia as a rea!istic pre-condition for their participation in the already begun and the expected transformation of private agricultural production. Analysing the scientification aspects of agricultural production (all the consequences of the expected scientific and technological breakthrough into the objeet, means, man ner, structure, organization and character of work), the author shows the direction and the speed of professiona!ization and proves the key role of knowledge, as the so-called ultimate deve 1- opmental resource. It is, therefore, indispensable to establish the professional education of farmers, which will be one of the important answers to future challenges. The resuits of research into the agricu!tural youth and agricultural households, and those of processing census data in Yugoslavia, show that educational structure of Yugoslav farmers is worse than that of other categories of the active population, but also that there is a positive attitude towards the need for introducing special professional education for farmers. Basing his conclusions on the analysis of the present qualification structure of farmers and on earlier results, the author presents the main elements of productive professional training that would make possible a flexible and real answer to the challenge of the transfermati on of agricultural work and production
