History
of
Department 
 The
 year
 2009
is
the
 anniversary
 year
 for
 the
 department
 of
 Andragogy
 which
celebrates
45
years
of
existence
 as
well
 as
for
its
alma
 mater,
Faculty
of
Arts,
celebra:ng
its
50th
year.
 Its
 origin
 is
 dated
 back
 to
 year
 1964,
 when
 Department
 of
 Public
 Awareness
 and
 Adult
 Pedagogy
 –
 first
 of
 its
 kind
 in
 Slovakia.
 Development
 of
 Department
 has
been
afflicted
 by
 many
 organiza:onal
 changes:
 in
 name
 of
 Department
 and
 study
 field,
 in
 study
 programs.
 The
 changes
 in
 curriculum
 were
 related
 to
 establishing
 and
 development
 of
 a
new,
 untradi:onal
 study
 field
with
 significant
 rela:on
 to
changing
social
and
economic
needs
and
condi:ons.
 The
 concept
 of
 the
 Department,
 elaborated
 by
 PhDr.
 Misal,
 further
 evolved
 in
 the
 works
 of
 PhDr.
 Štefan
 Merešš

 when
 the

 evolved
 into

 first
 students
 enrolled

 studies
 of
