  • Jurij Jug's role in development of Slovene adult education
    Goriup, Jana
    Who ever was dealing with adult education in Slovenia, could not pass by the name of Prof. Dr. hab. Jurij Jug, who in his lifelong career was a historian, adult educator, academic teacher trainer, ... scientist, publicist, editor and researcher in the field of adult educatio, not only in Slovenia, but also in Europe. The paper considers all named fields of his activities and especially points out his essential contribution to the comparative adult education research, which should be seen on several occasions of some international conferences (such as Brdo, St. Wolfgang, Jena, Rogaška Slatina, Zreče, Debrecin, London etc., which show that his research and practical work and their results confirm that he is universally informed about the results of andragogic research and practice in Europe and also about the recent items of educational policy. His bibliography counts over than 400 units, more than half published abroad. A remarkable number of his essays and scientific monographies are devoted to the history of Slovenian adult education, in which he considers as well the aspect of institutional as that of personal history of adult education. His master's thesis and his dissertation are a convincing proof of his great experience in the practice and didactical work of adult education. Historical interpretations are often added to the analysis of the present situation, as a reasonable way to deepen the understanding of the practical phenomena. His eminent role is recognized in several issues, as books, professional and scientific monographies etc., which can certainly explain the several activities and qualities of the author. Being the member of the steering committiees for the biannual conferences on the History of Adult Education we learned him know as an excellent organizer of research conferences on the international level. Moreover, it was his intention about the investigation of the relation between democracy and adult education referring to ideological changes and educational consequences after the Berlin wall fall. It is, not at last, his merit that the research results on this focus gave an analysis of the influences of the political change since 1989 on a reform of adult education, especially in the countries of South-Eastern- and Easter-Middle, Europe, as he succeeded in motivating experts of many western and eastern countries in Europe for a continuous research cooperation in years to come.
