La pratique de la formation continue donne un élan nouveau aux exigences de démocratisation de la formation en général

From the study of surveys carried on people going through adult training, a first part draws a few remarks which tend to show a certain gap between the opinion of the trainer about education and the experience of the trainee. Evidence of a second gap is also suggested between the professionnal know-how of the trainee and the knowledge, organized in disciplines which is affered to him. What are, in the training process, the causes of his uneasiness. In order to bring an answer, a second part will lead to better surround what is at stake in the action of training. Our trainer's talk, and the practical forms of teaching put to work, have both an emancipating effect and a role which consists of normalizing this emancipation, of fixing its pre-established limits. Better surround also what is at stake in economic training. Economics is both a domain for special activities and a particular aspect of all human activities, the functionning of which implies the exchange and the use of material means. Economics is therefore in deep and close relation with many other disciplines. In other respects, Economics has different theories, and approaches more or less enlighting the realities, the free usage of which is necessary in the training of someone to learn how to use theory. A third part selects among these considerations a few directions for the economic training of farmers and future farmers, which tend to the expression of needs, the intervention of trainees and students, the diversification of teaching méthode and pluridisciplinarity, the establishment of agreeed progressions.
