Koncept andragogije i njegova refleksija na praksu obrazovanja odraslih u Holandiji duboko su uslovljeni raznovrsnim socijalnim uticajima. U prvom redu, značajan uticaj imale su izmena ekonomske politike (od korporativne ka neoliberalnoj), izmena modela socijalne politike (od Rajnskog ka Anglo-američkom modelu) i način strukturisanja društva (od pilarizacije ka izgradnji multikulturnog društva usled velikog priliva imigranata i, ponovo ka re-pilarizaciji). Traganje za adekvatnim teorijskim 'odgovorom' na diverzifikovanu praksu obrazovanja odraslih u Holandiji koje je kroz tzv. agološki koncept intenzivirao Tonko Tjarko Ten Have traje više od pedeset godina, trpeći, pritom, značajne spoljne uticaje. U radu se, takođe razmatraju pravci razvoja andragoške teorije i prakse u Holandiji tokom dvadesetog veka i uticaj koji su na njih imala neka društvena rešenja i promene (u domenu finansiranja, sistema socijalne zaštite, u okviru sistema obrazovanja odraslih, deregulacija i povećanje autonomije na području obrazovanja, povećanje broja nezaposlenih i osoba koje se ne nalaze na tržištu rada i dr). ; The concept of andragogy and its reflection on the practice of adult education are profoundly dependent on different social influences. Firstly the important influence was the one of the change of economic policy (from corporative to neoliberal), the change of model of social policy (from Rein to Anglo-American model) and the way the society is structured (from pillarization to the building of a multi-cultural society due to a big influx of immigrants and again, to re-pillarization). The search for an adequate theoretical response to a diversified practice of adult education in The Netherlands that was, through the so called agological concept intensified by Tonko Tjarko Ten Have, lasts for more than fifty years now and is a subject of important external influences. In the paper different directions of the development of andragogical theory and practice through the 20th century and influence that was exerted on them by some ...
