| Description | The editors of Pedagogická orientace / Journal of the Czech Pedagogical Society invited authors to contribute to the English special issue 4/2017 entitled Leisure education. Leisure Education is an overall term used to mark approaches that employ leisure activities to holistically develop an individual, especially in the sense of his/her abilities to handle their leisure responsibly. In practice, these approaches may differ depending on particular methods in use, but they also may differ regionally: you can thus talk about various types of animation, informal education, and also about experiential and outdoor types of education. From the research point of view, our topic falls under Leisure Science, Leisure and Recreation Studies, Social Pedagogy; in Central Europe then it proceeds from the German tradition of Freizeit P?dagogik. Important texts in the field of leisure education have so far been presented by e.g. M. Smith, R. Stebbins, H. Opaschowski and M. Pollo. The special issue dedicated to Leisure Education is aimed towards these topics: - transformations of animation approaches across Europe - open vs. guided forms of work with children and adults - hobbies as a form of leisure-time-competence development - experiential approaches within the frame of leisure education - multi-day events and socio-edutainment |
