Is it too late to be child? Is it too early to be adult?

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to present authors’ experience related to methods applicable to adults’ education that could be transferred to children education and vice-versa. It describes a number of cases in which methods like Game-Based Learning (GBL) and Storytelling, derived from children everyday life and education, are applied to adults’ education; and methods like Problem/Project-Based Learning (PBL) and Inquiry-Based Learning (IBL), derived from adults’ experience, are applied to children education. The main research methods used are observations done during presented independent trainings, both of children and adults, as well as interviews with participants in these training. The conclusions are drawn based on similarities and differences.
