Psycho-educational approaches regarding the organization of educational activities in the context of nonformal education

Abstract

From the theoretical and praxeological perspective, non-formal education represents an important dimension of permanent education and an integral part of lifelong learning. This article analyzes the concept and characteristics of non-formal education and presents the psycho-pedagogical approaches related to the organization of educational activities in the context of non-formal education. The pedagogical approaches of non-formal education refer to the system of theories represented by the theory of cooperative learning, the humanistic theory of personality and the learner-centered approach of education, which provide theoretical directions for the efficient organization of extracurricular and extra-scholar activities. Non-formal education is also based on psychological theories such as behaviorist theory, constructivist theory, socio-cognitive theory approached in an integralist and postmodern vision.
