Summary/Abstract: Two ways of occupational formation are exposed in the introduction: experiential and conceptual. Experiential formation focuses on the tasks performed in various working environments. Conceptual formation focuses on the operationalisation of concepts and research findings that are also conveyed to future sociologists by means of education. The sociologist has first of all been formed conceptually through education. Analysis of the two dominant educational programmes in sociology in Slovenia reveals two streams: a humanistic-pedagogical one at the Faculty of Arts and a utilitarian, research-oriented one at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana. The sharpness of this distinction has gradually been blurred. Although sociologists have performed a great variety of tasks, they are seldom rounded up and focused like in other professions.
