"THE SOCIETY WHICH STUDIES": SOCIO-HISTORICAL ASPECTS OF EDUCATION
Sabina Vidulin-Orbanić
Abstract
We consider education as a historical and social category, as a process of educational activity and as an institution. It is in direct connection with the need of material good production, with the stage of scientific and technological development, with the ideology which incorporates in itself various aims and with the political system of a particular society. Three directions have been expanded throughout history: development of capability of the individual, training for living functions, conservation, transfer and usage of spiritual, cultural, scientific and empiric knowledge and human experiences. Education in which the activity of pupils is still a secondary factor does not achieve the expected results, whereas the insufficient preparation of pupils to continue their schooling and the incapacity of dealing with living situations becomes the major issue of these days.
Is the proposed "Croatian National Educational Standard" going to introduce ourselves into a new educational dimension?
