VALUE OF KNOWLEDGE - POSSIBLE MISCONCEPTIONS

Journal Title: Knowledge International Journal - Year 2018, Vol 26, Issue 2

Abstract

Like other countries, our country has long been trying to provide opportunities for acquiring a basic educational level for all age groups and to enable them to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes that are in line with society and the labor market. The aim of this paper is to examine the epochal problem, which is not semi-education, but the absence of normative ideas for education, from which one could draw a conclusion about something as a term "semi-education". Through the prism label, education is considered as a program for man's self-formulation, which through non-humanism has ceased to be the goal and criterion for the production, mediation and adjustment of knowledge to the needs of a modern civil society. In this paper, today's mechanisms are clarified, which do not only function as something contrary to the ideas of the education society, but directly emphasize its absence. Management and Entrepreneurship are considered as an integral part of the new organization of professional orientation and in the context of successful achievement of the goal of education. In its entirety, the work examines and illuminates the problem that the author sees in that indestructible basis of the spirit which is in itself necessary and is concealed by the euphemism of the "knowledge society". According to a deeper analysis of the author, much that is propagated under the term "knowledge society" has proven to be a gesture that generates political and economic interests, just as much as the idea of education. By analyzing the numerous education reforms, it can be concluded that they lead to industrialization and the knowledge economy, which puts the classical education theory into a situation to confront itself. Knowledge is viewed through an ethical prism, and as an example of a European education and culture policy, the "Millionaire" quiz has been analyzed, as well as other media broadcasts of this type. The so-called general methodology has been used to write the paper, which involves analysis, synthesis, abstraction, concretization, and following procedures such as classification, definition, generalization, interpretation, prediction. An inductive, deductive and comparative method, as well as a method of dialectics, is applied, assuming the method of hermeneutics as important for the context of research. As an important conclusion and attitude during the writing of the work and the choice of the theme, it is considered to emphasize the need to stop the growing separation of postmodern cultural policy and modernist materialist policy. The key point of the work and the theme itself is the mercantilization of knowledge, profitability and its overly appetites that appear to be welcome to the economic and ruling elite in the power of society, which, taking into account overall, are devastating to the majority of the population, or society as a whole.
