A purpose of the subject is in presenting the main phases, constitutive thoughts and considerable figures in the history of educational thought to students. It will be stressed not grasp the whole history of educational thought in detail, but to be well oriented in its periodization, evolutionary consequences and their correlation to the present, and, last but not least, to individual and deeper insight into one chosen topic of the history of educational thought.
Student is able to: - define and describe the subject of the studies in the history of andragogical thoughts, - name, categorize, and distinguish its main phases, - make a timetable and so demonstrate their continuity, - choose and analyse one topic, - add the context to it and the key thinkers, - name, symbolize, and show his character. Student can: - characterize, explain, express, and interpret main thoughts and the context of the topic, which was chosen, - name its main representatives, and join them together, so he/she can identify and compare common and different features of their thinking, - discuss about the chosen topic, - use and reformulate time-dependent data into the present andragogical discourse, so he/she can estimate and test their relevance for presence or use them and practise them in present context. Although it is not possible to measure students´ capabilities in this subject precisely, it is possible to say that student is capable to: - summarize and formulate main knowledge about the topic, - check their factual correctness, - evaluate and assess their nature, so he/she can design a presentation about the chosen topic, - for this purpose student is capable to set the structure of the presentation with the colleagues - compare and combine theoretical knowledge, and thanks to them construct his/her own thoughts and arguments, - choose appropriate topic to be discussed on the tutorial, - plan, prepare, organize and manage the discussion, reason the statements and doubt the others, and also revise the ideas and evaluate the discussing efforts of the opponents.
