Education Biography

Abstract

The article opens with a few thoughts about biographical learning and the meaning of education biography which is actually 'monitoring' of an individual's education in specific life periods. It is an important individual method which facilitates the forming of a further education plan. The chapter dealing with forming an education biography shows that it can't be formed regardless of the socio-historical events: that means that every education biography is an expression of social structural changes, novelties in society etc. which cause changes in an individual as well. The author analyses the influence of the contemporary society on an individual's education biography because he or she doesn't only learn in school but also from the environment. Education biooraphy consists of two parts: forma! an informal education. I defined their meaning as well as how they are created and how a personal education biography is evaluated in different life periods. One of the conditions for an individual to make his personal education biography is that he is aware of himself, his self and identity. Education biography is one of the ways to form our selfimage, self and identity, to distinguish between ourselves and the outer world to accept oursel ves and start a better s~lfdevelopment, acquiring new knowled cres, abilities etc. And this can be followed by important changes in our lives.
