The study describes growing interest of self-directed learning (SDL) on the field of adult education. Looking at its origin the idea is complex and rich. There are many parallel ideas and theories within the phenomenon self-directed learning. As many related components are used in a similar way the idea of is fraught with confusion. In English language there is a strong need and some wide research had been undertaken to clarify the meanings of related concepts as well as the meaning of the idea of SDL. In order to avoid misunderstandings in implementation self-directed learning in Polish theory we have to clarify the independent concept that will describe the exact meaning meant by authors rather than to use already existing expressions which have their original meaning much different from the idea of self-directed learning. In the study the new expression in Polish language has been defined and explained.

Objective: The study aims to determine whether educationally active women present signs of transformative learning in their own experiences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of the study is the relationship between experiencing transformative learning in a pandemic and the sense of loneliness, received social support, sense of life satisfaction and age. Methods: The study was conducted among 258 educationally active women – part-time students, as well as students of the Universities of the Third Age. Age of the surveyed women: from 19 to 87 years. Data were collected using the online test method. A statistical significance of differences was tested with the U Mann-Whitney test and the two proportion z-test. Results: Most of the surveyed women manifested elements of transformative learning in their experience of the pandemic. Those scoring high on the Transformative Learning in a Pandemic Situation scale have had their life satisfaction decrease to a greater extent than those scoring low. The group scoring high on the Transformative Learning in a Pandemic Situation scale is characterised by a higher sense of loneliness. No relationship was found between perceived manifestations of transformative learning and age, social support, place of residence and education. Discussion: The transformative potential of learning can be seen in a pandemic situation. The obtained data provide arguments supporting the supposition that the feeling of loneliness, influencing the lowering of satisfaction from life, is a factor triggering learning and leading to the change of habits of thinking and acting of educationally active women.
