CREDO - model edukacji osób dorosłych

The paper outlines the development of a higher education model meeting the needs of the generation growing up in liquid modernity. The initial hypothesis is that today’s trends in education, very often not having any coherent and reliable theoretical basis, are a proof of the difficulties that have to be faced today by every ambitious educator. A detailed analysis of the seven trends allowed for the identification of dominating problems of modern education, determination of the threats arising out of apparently attractive didactic solutions and discovery of their creative transformation into fully-developed methodological concepts. During the construction of the strategy for educating adults, the author refers to psychological research and develops the foundations of a coherent model of educating adults which uses blended learning. The solution is named CREDO, which is an acronym of: Credence, Requirements, Engagement, Design, Open.
