ADVANCING TIME MANAGEMENT TRAINING: FROM PRE-PRIMARY TO ADULT EDUCATION

Increase of time management effect is in permanent focus in social sciences, e.g. education, economics, political science, international relations, etc. For the increase of time management effect, education plays the decisive role by providing time management training in educational institutions at all levels. The main aim of this work is to shape a framework for time management training in educational institutions starting from pre-primary school moving through higher education and further to adult education. Exploratory research of qualitative nature is leveraged. The exploratory research is rooted in the interdisciplinary methodology. Analysis of theoretical sources with open access is based on concept review. The finding is that there are several time concepts built on a variety of constructs by different scientific disciplines. Time concepts developed in social sciences can be used among these social sciences. The concept of research constructs allows finding a novel way for grouping of different interdisciplinary approaches applied to time into the external and internal ones. This in turn helps mold four methodologies for time management. Benefits and drawbacks of each methodology are highlighted. The four methodologies are designed to target gradually and sequentially specific needs of individuals in time management training.
