ŠKOLA RADA – ODJEK NOVOG SVJETSKOG PEDAGOŠKOG POKRETA U SARAJEVU
WORK SCHOOL – REFLECTION OF A NEW WORLD PEDAGOGICAL MOVEMENT IN SARAJEVO

Summary/Abstract: The new World and European movement, known under the name work school/school of work which promoted new educational and teaching principles appeared in the first half of the 19th century, first in America, then Europe and in the 1930-ies also in the area of the King- dom of Yugoslavia, especially in Zagreb and Belgrade. The rapid indus- trial growth required educated workers who had already been taught in schools to do certain jobs in order to increase their work productiv- ity. These innovations in teaching were also reflected in Sarajevo where three courses for the teachers were held during the summer vacations of 1931 and 1932. The majority of course lectures were practical les- sons and a smaller part of them were theoretical. Since the educational system was in the sphere of ideological functioning for the society, the courses were financed from the state budget and the teachers were ex- pected to spread the acquired knowledge in the areas where they worked and lived and to promote the idea of work as a style and the sense of life.
