Abstract. Many opinions exist about the present relation between technology and education. Among them, the two following ones can be regarded as extreme, namely, the one claiming that technical and technological progress on the whole, and the technological progress in particular, require education and highly educated people, while the other one states that the technological development minimizes educational needs since modern technologies are so developed that they will be very soon independent of the subjects involved in the working process. In any case, it is relevant to stress the fact that the technological strategy has an important interaction with the educational process. Besides, out of the above-mentioned connections between technology and education it is possible to single out and take into consideration a set of issues referring to the society in its early stages of development as well as to various aspects of their interdependence in modern society. This paper presents some views that are significant for the exploration of this relationship in the contemporary world.

TEHNOLOGIJA I OBRAZOVANJE
O povezanosti tehnologije i obrazovanja postoje različita shvatanja. Dva ekstremna gledanja su: 1) tehničko-tehnološki progres u celini, a posebno progres tehnologije, zahteva obrazovanije i visoko obrazovane ljude i 2) razvoj tehnologije vodi ka minimiziranju potrebe za obrazovanjem, jer savremene tehnologije su toliko usavršene da će biti skoro nezavisne od subjekata radnog procesa. U svakom slučaju relevantno je saznanje da tehnološka strategija ima značajne interakcije sa procesom obrazovanja. Iz navedene povezanosti - tehnologija i obrazovanje - moguće je izdvojiti i razmotriti kompleks pitanja koja se odnose kako na društvo u ranijim periodima razvoja, tako i na različite aspekte njihove međuzavisnosti u današnjem društvu. U ovom radu iskazana su neka razmišljanja važna za istraživanje tog odnosa u savremenom društvu.
