The average length of human life is increasing, which means that older people make more and more numerous group of society. Nowadays there are a lot of different activity offers, addressed to older people, including broadly understood education offers. The Universities of Third Age are obvious example here. However, the lengthening life span means also that the number of seniors diagnosed with dementia is increasing. Older people with dementia can and should be included in geragogics initiatives. At pre-dementive (MCI) and early dementia stages it means above all brain training (ROT). Along with the progress of dementia more holistic intervention should be offered. One of them is the psychobiographic model according to Erwin Böhm. Böhm aims at so-called “reactivation of senior’s spirit”, meaning activating senior’s noopsyche (or cognitive sphere) as well as their thymopsyche (or emotional sphere). Therefore Böhm proposes seven steps scale of interaction (that is seven steps of connecting with senior) which allows to define senior’s needs as well as to enhance their competences. Böhm’s psychobiographic model uses in innovative way the biographical work method, adapting it to the situation of seniors with dementia. Thus the senior is not reduced to their diagnosis but is understood as a person, which means as a bio-psycho-social-spiritual entity.

Although the Internet originated in the late 1960’s, the actual popularization of this medium took place in the 1990’s. In Poland this process was initiated, and still continues, with a few years’ delay in comparison with West European countries or the United States. However, the Internet services market has changed significantly also in Poland ever since. The Internet has revolutionized almost all realms of life. It is becoming an increasingly popular sphere of activity among not only young people but also the elderly. This, in turn, creates new opportunities to learn about the elderly and the way of their individual and social functioning. This article presents sources of knowledge of Polish Internet websites and their users. The Polish elderly as Internet users have been described here as well. The Internet discussion forum serving as a new sphere of activity and a source of cognition of the Polish elderly has been discussed. Finally, an attempt has been made to define research potential of the aforementioned sphere in terms of language education studies.

This paper refers to the problem of care, help and support in terms of persons with dementia and points the issue of compassion fatigue and long-term involvement of patient’s family. It presents some suggestions of the German educator and psychologist Janina Steurenthaler to develop a new geragogics discipline Dementagogik, that is pedagogy directed at people with dementia. In this paper the author pays a particular attention to the basic aims of pedagogy of persons with dementia as a subdiscipline of special geragogics, pointing to demographic changes and the increasing number of persons suffering dementia, both in a global scale and in Poland. This article also provides the discussion on recommendations of the World Health Organization and the European Union experts that are aimed at protection and support of elderly people with chronic issues and their caregivers. The paper ends with the basic tasks for the implementation of the pedagogy of people with dementia, as well as the final conclusion that the “dementagogics” emerged in the European Year of the Brain (2014) and presents a vision of promoting – in the time of globalization – a dementia-friendly society.

This study is of a theoretical-conceptual nature and is a partial outcome of the research project VEGA MŠVVaŠ SR and SAV no. 1/0176/15. It deals with one of the problems currently faced by educational theory and practice, i.e. the foreign language education of seniors. The trend is typical for many EU member states, since it results from the needs of a modern society. In addition to strategic documents, programs and legislation which binds the Slovak Republic to create conditions for lifelong education, including foreign language education, the authors are more closely preoccupied with specificities and possibilities of the language education of seniors, which are explained on a comparative basis with the language education of children and youth. Even though in literature one can find results of many substantial empirical research projects devoted to foreign language education of children and youth, research into the education of adults and seniors in the area of foreign languages falls behind considerably. A sufficient platform for the methodology of language education of adults and seniors in Slovakia has not been created either, if compared with the methodology of language education of younger age categories. This shortcoming is often quite noticeable in practice. The study attempts to pay adequate attention to the analysis of selected teaching styles specific for adult and senior age as well as teaching methods which may be used in the language education of seniors.

The aim of the article is to present the perspective of human development in aging, its chances, limitations and challenges, including individual and contemporary social context. The assumed interpretative standpoint is personalistic philosophy and pedagogy that enables to derive the thesis about the possibility of lifelong human development, including the old age, and the need to support the person in it. The foundation for the development in aging is ontological and axiological structure of a person. The way of its accomplishment is indicated by subjective actions and its specificity is described by the developmental antinomy between spiritual and physical dimension of the elderly person's life. Old age is full of brightness and shadows resulting from psychophysical changes, existential situations and social attitudes that condition the developmental possibilities. The basis of their fulfillment is a conscious acceptance of the aging process – old age regains its sense and meaning when it is recognized, affirmed and valued on individual and social level. However, the human development in aging is highly individualized and depends on inner openness for changes and  readiness to resolve crises specific for that period of life. Critical analysis presented in the article reflects an interdisciplinary approach based on hermeneutic interpretation of scientific and popular texts from the field of philosophy, pedagogy, psychology and other social sciences that undertake the problem of  aging and human development.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja perspektywy – możliwości, ograniczeń i wyzwań – rozwoju człowieka starszego w wymiarze indywidualnym i w aktualnym kontekście społecznym. Przyjętą optyką interpretacyjną jest personalistyczna filozofia i pedagogika, pozwalające na wysunięcie tezy mówiącej o możliwości rozwoju człowieka przez całe życie (w tym w starości) oraz potrzebie wspierania go w tym procesie. Podstawę rozwoju w starości stanowi ontyczna i aksjologiczna struktura osoby, sposób realizacji wyznacza podmiotowe działanie, a specyfikę określa antynomia rozwojowa, zaznaczająca się między wymiarem duchowym i cielesnym w życiu człowieka starszego. Starość jest pełna blasków i cieni wynikających ze zmian psychofizycznych organizmu, sytuacji egzystencjalnych oraz postaw społecznych, warunkujących w istotny sposób możliwości rozwojowe. Podstawą ich realizacji jest świadoma akceptacja procesu starzenia się – starość odzyskuje swój sens i znaczenie, gdy jest poznana, uznana i dowartościowana w wymiarze indywidualnym i społecznym. Ostatecznie jednak realizacja wyzwań rozwojowych jest kwestią wysoko zindywidualizowaną opartą na wewnętrznej gotowości do zmian i pokonywania kryzysów starości. Dokonana krytyczna analiza ma charakter interdyscyplinarny i oparta jest o kwerendę tekstów naukowych i popularnych z zakresu filozofii, pedagogiki, psychologii i innych nauk społecznych dotyczących problematyki starości i rozwoju człowieka w podeszłym wieku.
