Umiejętność uczenia się – od starożytnej do współczesnej kompetencji kluczowej
Ability to learn – from ancient to contemporary key competence

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the sketch is to discuss the historiographical aspects of the learning competence.The diaries of Hadrian, a Roman emperor who is considered to be one of the five best Roman rulers,are the starting point of the presented analysis. In his diaries he describes his experience as a schoolboyfrom the sage’s perspective and the very experience seems to be the reason to indicate theorigins of the contemporary school and the concept of the learning competence being incorporatedinto the educational system. Storytelling, giving a speech, creating a narrative have been a crucialaspect of the learning process ability since the ancient times. Modern storytelling proponents considerthe ancient rhetorical art, ars bene dicendi, to be fundamental. Contemporary Polish schoolmay often seem to disapprove of the student’s story due to the fact that curriculum, exams and theteacher’s story are its focal points. Antiquity, which is allegedly perceived as the foundations of ourcivilisation, is permeated by rhetorical art in politics, culture, law and last but not least education.
