Dr Đorđe Natošević u reviziji osnovnih škola u Kneževini Srbiji

Abstract

Nadzor dr Đorđa Natoševića nad osnovnim školama u Kneževini Srbiji tokom školske 1867/68. razlikovao se od dotadašnje revizije škola, jer ga je sproveo, po želji vladara kneza Mihaila, najbolji srpski pedagog, kako bi se učinio odsudan korak u reformisanju srpskog školstva. U radu su analizirani sačuvani Natoševićevi izveštaji, koji se, kao istorijski izvori prvoga reda, prvi put predstavljaju našoj naučnoj javnosti. Realizovano istraživanje je pokazalo da izveštaji Đorđa Natoševića omogućavaju realan uvid u rad osnovnih škola u Kneževini Srbiji i da su, u tom smislu, važno svedočanstvo o školskim prilikama u Srbiji na izmaku sedme decenije XIX veka. S druge strane, budući da su uvek sadržavali predloge kako da se osnovnoškolsko obrazovanje iz temelja preuredi, Natoševićevi izveštaji predstavljaju značajan predložak za istraživanje nastanka trajnih institucija pedagoškog obrazovanja i modernih didaktičko-metodičkih shvatanja u Srbiji u poslednje tri decenije XIX veka.

Dr Đorđe Matošević's supervision of elementary schools in Serbia during 1867/68 academic year differed from previous inspections because it was conducted according to the order of the ruler, prince Mihailo, and the wish of this most prominent Serbian pedagogue in order to make a decisive step in reforming Serbian schools. The preserved Matošević's reports were analyzed as historical sources of the first rank, and now are presented to our scientific community for the first time. Our research shows that Đorđe Matošević's reports enable a realistic insight in elementary school practice in the Princedom of Serbia, and are important testiomonies of educational conditions near the end of the seventh decade of the nineteen century. On the other hand, since they always contained suggestions for fundamental reforming of elementary-school education, Đorđe Matošević's reports are an important model for researching the origins of permanent institutions of pedagogic education and modern didactic - methodological concepts in Serbia in the last three decades of the nineteenth century.
