In order to secure personal success, it is essential to keep up with the constant scientific developments and technological innovations. Therefore, the Faculty of Education recognises the lifelong learning as a form of social engagement with the increasing importance. The Department for Lifelong Learning was established at the Faculty Council on September 22th, 2010, and since October 1st 2020 it has been called the Department for Pedagogy, History and Philosophy.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Initiatives conducted by the Department are aimed at increasing the level of education of citizens: by presenting research results and knowledge dissemination. The popularization of science aims to raise awareness of the general public about the importance of knowledge in the changing circumstances of social and economic relations. Even if those activities are not part of formal education that ends with qualifications, they contribute to our visibility. By creating study programmes that enable employment, the Faculty provides the opportunity for our students to complete initial education and acquire qualification, or change their occupation, or better their skills. The pedagogical-psychological and didactic-methodological training, that has been conducted by the Faculty is an example of lifelong learning and education that allows students to master the knowledge, expand their abilities and improve the skills necessary for the teaching profession.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
