Problematyka oświaty dorosłych poruszana w wybranych tekstach Ryszarda Wroczyńskiego

The article discusses the issues undertaken by Ryszard Wroczyński in some of his publications which appeared in “The Pedagogical Quarterly” between 1960s and 1970s. The review takes into account the content of the articles and reports from the conferences on adult education organised in Poland and abroad. Particular attention is given to the issues concerning permanent education and the process of learning in the context of a non-formal educational environment. In addition, a special focus is placed on a timeless character of ideas presented by Wroczyński, as well as the questions he proposed in relation to the functioning of education, some of which are still valid today.
