Abstract
The aim of the sketch is to discuss the historiographical aspects of the learning competence. The diaries of Hadrian, a Roman emperor who is considered to be one of the five best Roman rulers, are the starting point of the presented analysis. In his diaries he describes his experience as a schoolboy from the sage’s perspective and the very experience seems to be the reason to indicate the origins of the contemporary school and the concept of the learning competence being incorporated into the educational system. Storytelling, giving a speech, creating a narrative have been a crucial aspect of the learning process ability since the ancient times. Modern storytelling proponents consider the ancient rhetorical art, ars bene dicendi, to be fundamental. Contemporary Polish school may often seem to disapprove of the student’s story due to the fact that curriculum, exams and the teacher’s story are its focal points. Antiquity, which is allegedly perceived as the foundations of our civilisation, is permeated by rhetorical art in politics, culture, law and last but not least education.
