The Department of Educational Sciences at the University of Ljubljana is devoted to the science of educating and teaching in the field of pedagogics and andragogy. Its predecessor, the lecture on pedagogy, was established in 1919 and throughout history developed a more scientific approach. Today the department houses a library and offers 2 one and two-subject graduate programmes, 2 taught Master programmes and a doctoral study programme.

Background

The faculty changed its organisation and level of study many times in more than 90 years of its existence. In 1965 on the initiative of the department the Slovene Educational Research Institute (ERI) was founded in Ljubljana.

With the Bologna Process, the graduate and postgraduate programmes have adapted to changes in university teaching: the three-year BA, two-year MA, and three-year PhD programmes were fully introduced till 2010.

Since 1982 the department organises annual event Days of Pedagogy and Andragogy [Pedagoško-andragoški dnevi, PAD] with the aim to present latest discoveries in the discipline and form a dialogue with the wider audience.

International cooperation and academic exchange

The department is active in international projects and has signed agreements with many foreign university. In 2012 the department organises international conference of ESREA Network on Education and Learning of Older Adults (ELOA) on the subject Intergenerational solidarity and education of older adults in community.

The agreement for Erasmus student exchange is signed with universities in: Bulgaria (St. Cyril and Method University), Estonia (Tallinn University), Finland (Oulu University of Applied Sciences, University of Helsinki, University of Tampere), France (University Louis Pasteur Strasbourg), Croatia (University of Zagreb), Lithuania (Kaunas University), Germany (University Osnabruck), Netherlands (Hanze University Groningen), Slovakia (University Komensky Bratislava), and Spain (University Las Palmas, De Vigo University).
