SOCIAL AND PEDAGOGICAL FORECASTING IN THE PROCESS OF CHILDREN’S SOCIALIZATION by Antonina L. Leutina

“…An increase in the importance of prediction in pedagogic activity is related to modern postindustrial economic trends which are becoming oriented primarily toward an individual and his/her personal abilities as a basic manufacturing resource. The increase in personal resource value determines the application of socio-structural approach in pedagogy which contributes to the reduction of risks connected with the results of pedagogic activity and makes prediction of social and personal evolution of a child more prominent. …”
