Abstract :
In this paper we try to explain why some elements of the learning of social science deserve to find their place in the system of contemporary education of technicians. We show that contemporary society - as the result of social and technological processes - is markedly changing, so that social scientists speak about software modernity, the society of education, the information age, but also about the risk society. One of the problems in this society is the problem of fragmentation, which is among others manifested in the field of education and science. This paper tries to indicate what demands this situation puts on basic educational functions - ie. the functions of qualification, information, innovation, humanising, integration, and democratization - and how from this perspective the question of learning of social sciences of technicians should be considered in the current system of education.
