THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF POLISH ANDRAGOGICAL THOUGHT

– BETWEEN THE PAST, MEMORY AND HISTORY

Abstract

The article considers the theoretical and methodological analyses of research on the development of andragogical thought in Poland. The main goal of the article is to justify the change of the research perspective, the need for a constructivist approach, taking into account the diachronic and synchronous context. The need for a different theoretical and methodological approach has been shown against the background of the discourse on the past, memory and history, as well as in the context of the research findings of the subsequent stages of the Polish andragogy development . The author showed that the lack of andragogical references to its past and history in contemporary discourses leads to uprooting from the native tradition and is one of the most important reasons for the problems of the identity of Polish andragogy, which is still ungrounded among the science of education, functioning mainly on the outskirts of pedagogy. The article ends with conclusions summarizing the conducted analyses.
