Humanistic paradigm in the research on studying

Abstract

In the course of changes taking place in the higher education, particularly in the situation of creating the education orientated to the student, a need to do a thorough analysis of the process of studying appears. In the proposed text I would like to present the significance of theoretical and empirical reflection on the process of studying. I am going to outline a theoretical context of research being placed in the current of the humanistic paradigm and a research project according to the assumptions of humanistic methodological knowledge.
