Summary/Abstract: Resocialization is the process of gradual reintegrating offenders from a criminal subgroup into the social community as a group. Resocialization is expected to change those personal characteristics of convicts that are associated with criminal behavior and thus enable them to integrate into social life. Resocialization models have changed and been supplemented throughout the historical development of penology as a science, and each of them has played an important role in the reeducation of convicted persons. Today, the resocialization model strives for the humanization and individualization of treatment, but also for the need for the convict, above all, to accept an active role in the process of reeducation and the implementation of the treatment program. Correctional treatment and the process of resocialization are very closely related, because the successful outcome of correctional treatment contributes to the success of resocialization. Therefore, the pedagogical approach in the process of resocialization is a key factor for their successful rehabilitation and reintegration into the community. However, numerous social changes require a different approach to the convict during the process of resocialization, both in terms of educational and corrective treatment and methodology of work with convicted persons, and in terms of work engagement and the acquisition of educational and social competencies through some of the informal forms of learning.
