O edukacji nieformalnej w polskim dyskursie andragogicznym – przegląd konceptualizacji
On informal education in the Polish andragogical discourse: A review of its conceptualization

Summary/Abstract: This paper reviews mainly Polish-language literature regarding the conceptualization of informal education within the native andragogical discourse. An analysis of existing sources is conducted to select content relating to the evolution of informal education, identifying key turning points in its development over time. Various theoretical approaches to informal education are then presented, illustrating its increasing complexity and deepening our understanding. This leads to the formulation of a thesis that identifies two trends in informal education: instrumental and interpretive. The following section addresses the question of how informal learning can be taught. The conclusions summarize the findings and highlight both the benefits and challenges of informal education. The primary conclusion is that informal education is a culturally variable phenomenon, influenced by socio-political contexts and closely tied to everyday life in its various settings. It occurs at unconscious, subconscious, and conscious levels, and its pluralistic and ambiguous nature makes it conceptually challenging now and in the future.
