O uczeniu się inspirowanym pasją na przykładzie biografii edukacyjnej miłośnika sportu
On learning inspired by passion exemplified by educational biography of a sports enthusiast

Summary/Abstract: In social sciences, learning undertaken by adults as part of their passions is still a poorly recognised problem. This article is the result of an attempt to fill this gap. The aim of the study was to reconstruct the process of adult learning inspired by passion and to identify the features specific to this type of learning. The presented considerations were placed in the interpretative paradigm. The educational biography method was used and the data was collected using unstructured, in-depth interview. Two educational lines were identified in sports enthusiast narration: non-formal and informal learning. The study conducted leads to the conclusion that learning inspired by one’s passion is highly valued by the individual (meaningful), planned, autono- mous, continuous and leading to mastery. It is also reflective, voluntary and unique, focused on self-fulfilment and personal development of the individual, and it is based on strong internal motivation and a large emotional and intellectual commitment of the enthusiast.
