(CZ) Pedagogika a andragogika - distance v blízkosti
(EN) Educational science and adult education - distance in proximity

Andragogiku a pedagogiku doložitelně mnohé spojuje, nějakou výraznou komunikaci obou disciplin ale nenalézáme. Tento příspěvek se zaměřuje spíše na společné problémy a přístupy, aniž by negoval specifika obou oborů.

There is proof of many links between adult education and general educational science, yet no major communication of both disciplines can be found. The article predominantly focuses on common problems and procedures, without negating the specificities of both areas of study. Common field can be found in a substantial orientation towards the resolution of practical problems, in the multidisciplinary background of both particular disciplines and in theoretical approaches. Yet, adult education and educational science have been institutionalized in different ways for historical reasons. The degree of institutionalization and organizational background also differ. Moreover, adult education conceives its object differently than general educational science. It is nevertheless obvious that co-operation of both disciplines is possible, and, taking into account the requirements of life-long studies- even necessary.
