Sažetak
The purpose of this paper is to clarify the meaning of the concept of lifelong learning with the reference to its origin and development. First, the contemporary meaning of the lifelong learning is stated after which we discuss as to when, why and how the term was created. In that regard the difference is made between the term of lifelong learning as an idea and the term of lifelong learning as an educational policy concept. By using the content analysis method we identified the meaning of the concept of lifelong learning in a sample of eight key documents of the UNESCO, the OECD, the Council of Europe and the European Union within the two developmental phases, respectively. We then give the explanation of the terms similar to that of the lifelong learning so as to differentiate between them and the term of lifelong learning. We also examine the different orientations, i.e. positions of the concept of lifelong learning. Finally, we discuss the reasons as to why the older concept of lifelong education was replaced with the newer one - lifelong learning.
