Dr Henryka Radziejowska: The Meaning of Amateur Theatre Activity in the Learning Process of Adults
PL
Znaczenie potrzeby generatywności podkreślają psychologowie roz- wojowi, andragodzy i pedagodzy rodziny. Ujawnia się ona w różnych kontekstach, spośród których pierwszoplanowymi są rozwój osobowy człowieka dorosłego, budo- wanie trwałych relacji międzypokoleniowych, wypełnianie zadań opiekuńczo-wycho- wawczych wpisanych w rolę rodzica. W niniejszym artykule podjęto próbę zwrócenia uwagi na zestawienie znaczenia generatywności z dorosłością rozumianą za Barbarą Harwas-Napierałą jako spełnienie. Kluczem do spełnienia w dorosłości jest potrzeba generatywności, która biorąc pod uwagę jej całożyciowy charakter, staje się złożonym i trudnym do zrealizowania zadaniem rozwojowym współczesnego człowieka. Reflek- sja wokół tak zakreślonego zagadnienia ukazuje generatywność jako zmieniającą się w biegu życia potrzebę pod względem jej specyfiki, zakresu, poziomu zaangażowania opiekuńczego. Niemniej fundamentalną z punktu widzenia egzystencjalnego.

The significance of the need for generativity has been emphasised by de- velopmental psychologists, andragogues and family pedagogues. It is revealed in dif- ferent contexts among which personal development of an adult, building stable inter- -generational relationships, fulfilling educational and guardianship tasks assigned to the role of a parent are the primary ones. The paper attempts juxtapose the significance of generativity with adulthood understood, according to Barbara Harwas-Napierała, as fulfillment. The key to this fulfillment is the need for generativity which, having in mind its lifelong character, becomes for a contemporary man a developmental chal- lenge that is complex and difficult to realize. Reflection upon the subject outlined in this way presents generativity as a need that changes during the course of life in its specificity, scope and level of care involvement. It is, however, fundamental from the existential point of view.

The paper is the first of three publications which will address the problem of existential concerns explored from the perspective of seniors. The common feature of these papers is the attempt to investigate this phenomenon be means of qualitative research conducted among seniors. We believe that seniors in their late adulthood or old age are more deeply aware of the approaching death, what motivates them to reflect on the fragile and finite nature of human existence and the meaning of their lives. As they face challenging thoughts and sense that these thoughts focus on the most fundamental existential problem, they try to respond to it and formulate individual solutions. This is very interesting for researchers because the reality studied is in this case recognized as it is being formed, in statu nascendi. The dynamics of this process is connected with the way seniors experience themselves as they cope with their existential concerns on daily basis. With every new experience, they may arrive at different conclusions or confirm that their present way of thinking and evaluating life is the right one. The purpose of presenting diverse research reflections in the papers is not to verify again an again the results obtained previously in other samples but rather to grasp the complex picture which shows the ways seniors approach life and death, understand their existential concerns and their importance in life as well as the mechanisms they use to buffer existential fear in different circumstances. The publications present different research strategies including analyses of materials obtained as short written statements, unstructured interviews and survey questionnaires. As part of theoretical introduction to the research problem, this papers presents reflections on the main aspects of finiteness of human existence, set in the interdisciplinary scientific discourse. A special emphasis in the discussion is put on the self-reflective context of confrontation with the anticipated, inevitable death in the light of the essence of human existence recognized as an autotelic value. The research section focuses on exploring how do seniors approach the phenomenon of transience of life and inevitability of death. The research material was obtained in the form of short statements written by seniors as answers to open ended questions. As a result of the analysis, a quite complex catalogue was created of responses of seniors to the inevitability of death - from acceptance of one’s own death to suppression of the death-related thoughts. The analysis also resulted in the typology of five approaches towards death, presented by the seniors. The names of these categories are, in our opinion, symbolic and include: stoic, worldview-based, existential, anxiety-based and avoidance approach.
