Niż demograficzny a jakość kształcenia – czy dydaktyka akademicka stoi w obliczu kryzysu?

Abstract

Population decline vs. quality of education. Is academic didactics facing a crisis? The study raises the problem of the functioning of the academic didactics against the backdrop of new reality, socio-economic changes, and mental changes observed in young people. Based on the previous findings concerning the crisis in the academic didactics, the author proposes a reorientation within the scope of the target group of the prospective students. In her opinion, there is a need for drawing attention to the group of mature people (40+) as candidates for studies in humanities. Key words: population decline, humanistic education, Polish studies, National Qualification Framework, quality of education
