Abstract

The paper deals with the term ‘freedom’ in the education environment. The author’s attention is focused on the adult education. He attempts to specify his point of view on the important role of freedom in conjunction with teaching and learning processes. It is shown that the ‘freedom’ can play a key role in the field of motivation. A few basic possible recommendations are formulated and discussed. A good deal of attention is focused on some open questions formulation in the domain of adult education. The next goal of the paper is to introduce some methods and tools which are based on IT and, from the author’s point of view, could shift the educational process to higher level. The author deals with selected methods and tools which he has come across in the European Net-Trainers course. They use modern approaches to the educational process and are suitable for the university environment. They can support the implementation of freedom in adult education. The concrete praxis at the various faculties can differ but experience exchange among various workplaces is very useful. The discussion about this topic can bring valuable ideas for the work of all teachers who are responsible for teaching not only informatics, but many other subjects. Lifelong learning also calls for some new concepts and modification of the approaches used. The text of the paper reflects the possibility of educational process modernization and freedom in education wider implementation. From the author’s point of view the topic ‘freedom in adult education’ may soon become a hot-topic.
