Villages and the education of village people has been one of the most problematic areas in the history of Turkish modernization. This subject has been seen as the natural extension of the populism approach, both for the intellectuals of the republic and the constitutionalism.The accumulation of contitutionalism plays an important role in the establishment of the institutes on April 17,1940. Being influenced by the events,facts and ideologies that shaped their mindset the early republican generation has determined a road map in this context. The main milestones of this roadmap are the solidarist narodnist and corporatist imagination of the state and society combined with positivism.This generation,who adapted science as a principle instead of darkness, aimed to prevent backwardness and to realize a development ideology in line with positivist,vulger meterialist and secular principles. For this, they turned to the village and peasantry in a sociological reality where eighty percent of society lives in villages.In this article, prominent intellectuals and parameters of the mentioned orientation on the basis of village education are discussed.
