Informal learning seeks its place in formal education contexts

Slobodanka Antic¹

Abstract: se dovode u vezu specifičnosti učenja u dva konteksta − formalnom i informalnom. Uporedićemo pojedine aspekte tih učenja, potencijale i ograničenja svakog od njih u odnosu na zahtev da se realizuju obrazovni i vaspitni ciljevi kojima se jedinka u razvoju priprema za ravnopravnu participaciju u društvu. Granice između tih okruženja, iz perspektive onoga ko uči, nisu tako jasne i stabilne jer svaka osoba prenosi sva svoja iskustva kroz sve kontekste u kojima uči, one su više vidljive za aktere koji planiraju i r… Show more

This paper will present the process and the results of the work on the "Endowment" project, which was realized in cooperation with the Association for Creative Development of Children "Creative Laboratory" and the Eureka Children's Club during 2022-2023. in Kruševac. The goal of the project was to develop a positive image of oneself and one's spiritual identity, to gain knowledge about our roots and origins, to learn about the importance of medieval culture for the spiritual identity of the Serbian people, to which the children themselves belong. Program contents are devoted to endowments, rulers, saints, historical events and the overall culture of medieval Serbia. 25 children aged 7-11 participated in the project for 10 weeks. As an occasion, provocation and inspiration for research, we used a visit to the Park of Miniatures in Bagdala, where models of our medieval monasteries were placed. The results of the work were presented at the ceremonial academy called "Endowment", which was designed as a three-component unit and, with the blessing of His Eminence, the Bishop of Kruševac Mr. David, was held in the amphitheater of the Lazarica Church in Kruševac in February 2023. The first component consisted of a photo exhibition entitled "Trace of our past" which represents a timeline of children's research activities, the second, an art exhibition of children's works "Mosaic of our past" and the third stage performance "Endowment".By interviewing all participants, qualitative analysis of the process and results of the work, we concluded that the multimedia, integrative and project approach had an effect on raising the interest and self-confidence of children, mobilized their attention and contributed to the development of awareness and knowledge about their spiritual origin and cultural identity.

Informal education stems from everyday and spontaneous activities related to work, family, or leisure time and is not organized or structured in terms of goals, time, or learning support. Its immediacy, naturalness, and lucidity are its main characteristics, distinguishing it from formal and non-formal education. Due to constant technological and societal changes, there is a necessity to optimize informal education and encourage more flexible educational pathways. The process of validating individual knowledge, skills, and abilities is highly complex and requires support from the entire educational system and society. The aim of this study was to highlight the benefits and significance of competencies acquired through informal learning. Through examples of good practices from foreign universities, questions arose regarding the possibilities of implementing the validation of informal education in Serbian universities. The ultimate focus of the study was on the insufficient affirmation of informal education, systemic and procedural constraints, and suggestions for overcoming them in the near future.

Due to the changed social circumstances and the growing role of informal education in the process of personal development, the aim of the paper is to consider the importance of family activities, which hold the most dominant role in informal education. The key premise of modern society must therefore be based on establishing continuity in the process of lifelong learning, through the necessity of a holistic relationship between education and society. It is important to move away from the classical way of understanding the education as a process of knowledge transfer that takes place in the formal context and focus on the fact that learning is not limited by time, space, and institution. Starting from the fact that the family is the first and foremost system for a child, only with changed roles in different life cycles, an attempt was made to point out key effects on the family, but also on the child by the family, primarily for prosocial development. Prosocial development takes place by modelling behaviours through which the desired value system is expressed and instilled in a child. Regarding the family as educators in informal education, the paper emphasizes the need to monitor procedures that have a scientific and professional basis, with caution against "falling under the influence" of implicit theories of education that are promoted on social networks and in other, modern forms of social groups. In that sense, the necessity of supporting the family in educational activities, which represent the core of informal education in the family context, is emphasized. After considering the basic principles of formal, non-formal and informal education, the paper emphasizes the growing importance of informal education and the role of the family in this process, considering the key settings of parenting for holistic personality development, based on Kant's claim to educate. Namely, the attention was drawn to the educational activities of the family in the process of individual and social development through an informal approach, as well as to the questions of its competence to respond to the challenges posed by the social change.
