摘要：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.
