Świetlica szkolna na miarę XXI wieku

Author(s): Arkadiusz Bereza,Agnieszka Wilczewska / Language(s): Polish Issue: 3/2015

Common classrooms used to be created in order to make up for families’ educational de iciencies and functioned somewhat similar to nowadays nurseries. They were to help dysfunctional families and to provide a child with support, care and opportunity to develop. Such common rooms still exist nowadays but concurrently there are also school common rooms, which function as care and educational institutions that help parents in upbringing their children and support the overall development of their children. In times like nowadays when families migrate a lot and both parents are working, school common rooms are playing more and more signi icant role. However, being entirely over illed by pupils, school common rooms not necessarily serve their purpose. What should be done in order to make the school common room as an organization become a nice and friendly place for a child, support its development and thus change the society negative perception of it? What should be changed for the school common room not to be perceived as a storage room for children and teachers? This article attempts to answer the above questions.

Przywrócić pamięć harcerskiej myśli pedagogicznej

Author(s): Bogusław Śliwerski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

In the article, I focus on the scouting pedagogical thought, which was given the scientific dimension by scholars and outstanding scout leaders during the Polish ­Second Republic. The discovery of their dissertations after several decades allows us to appreciate the considerable contribution that these researchers and analysts of scouting made to the world of humanities. At the same time, I address the question of whether scouting pedagogy may become a scientific subdiscipline within education sciences and I analyse the significance of the Polish contribution to this field.

Kształcenie ogólne – wizja pedagogiczna czy utopia? W sprawie translokacji teorii kształcenia ogólnego w powojennym dyskursie pedagogicznym w Polsce

Author(s): Dariusz Stępkowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The article describes evolution that had taken place in Poland regarding the understanding and allocation of the theory of liberal education after the Second World War. Selected studies of four pedagogues are analyzed: Sergei Hessen, Bogdan Nawroczyński, Bogdan Suchodolski, and Wincenty Okoń. The paper consists of three parts. The first one heuristically explains the problem of liberal education. The point of reference in these considerations are the contemporary traces of utopian thinking in Polish science of education and the historiosophic thoughts of Immanuel Kant. The second part contains an analysis of the concepts of liberal education of the authors mentioned above. In the third part, the author presents a proposal of distinguishing two types of liberal education – utopian and non-utopian (visionary), and idiographically reconstructs the course of change process which led to the current situation in Polish science of education.

Spór o koncepcję społeczeństwa i wartość jednostki jako kontekst i wyzwanie dla polskiej myśli pedagogicznej

Author(s): Marek Rembierz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

If pedagogy is pursued in the knowledge-creating relationship with philosophical analyses and respects logical culture, taking up the issues indicated in the title it should pay attention to – having pedagogical consequences – ontological decisions concerning the existence of society and ontological relations between the social status of the society and the individual. What is ontically (live) primary: individual or society? What are the ontical relationships between the existence of an individual and the existence of society? What cannot exist without what? Can there be a society if there are no individuals, if they do not enter into relations with each other, thanks to which they form and consolidate different types of bonds between them? Andrzej Niesiołowski (1889–1945) accentuates the on-going primary character of the unit, completing the two theses on reality in “Outline of general pedagogy”: (1) “social phenomena arise from relations between individuals” and (2) “social phenomena only in relation to the individual are real”. The analysis of ontic dependence between the existence of an individual and the ways in which society functions, opens the problem area for pedagogical reflection. It leads to further important pedagogical issues. Amplifications and concretization in the pedagogical reflection – also with regard to historical experiences – are required for the conclusion of the ontical primacy of the existence of the individual and the socio-creative role of the relations and bonds between the individuals. Analyzes are carried out in the article until the moment when it is possible to continue developing the proposition of shaping a unit that participates in the co-creation and cooperates in creating social life, which should not be subject to undesirable alienation.

Beauty, art and elements of aesthetic education in the Polish writings of the Neo-Thomists of the interwar period

Author(s): Janina Kostkiewicz / Language(s): English Issue: 4/2018

Beauty, a property of existence in the Neo-Thomistic view, allows one to perceive it as a property of reality and of human artefacts, including art. It can be found in human behaviour and in the tradition of culture in the form of harmony, perfection and brilliance. An examination of beauty should be subject to the principal rules of study in metaphysics. Beauty is an important factor in the development of personality: it raises and ennobles. The love of beauty incorporates rest and respite, which are necessary for human development. Not being subject to the virtue of prudence, art itself does not seek to make man better, because it is all about creating a work of art. Neo-Thomists see a conflict between morality and art in this fact; the risk does not occur when the artist takes ethics “as his or her own”. In this case, he or she unknowingly creates ethical works or art. Art is undoubtedly of great social importance and it should fulfil an important social mission through aesthetic education by making available to the widest possible group of people truth, beauty and goodness.

Czynniki narodowy i państwowy w rozwoju moralnym człowieka a problem patriotyzmu. Refleksja w oparciu o myśl pedagogiczną Jacka Woronieckiego OP (1878–1949) – konteksty współczesne

Author(s): Maria M. Boużyk / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The aim of the article is to interpret Jacek Woroniecki’s concept of “nation” and “state” in the contemporary contexts of globalisation and cultural integration with a view to re-defining patriotism. The article consists of three parts. Part 1 poses the question about the importance of a nation and a state for man’s life. Part 2 discusses the issue of national tradition seen as a controversial factor of modern patriotism. Part 3 presents Woroniecki’s ontology of the nation and the state. Raising these important topics provides the author with an opportunity to popularise the thoughts of the Polish educator. Following the analysis, the article demonstrates that the concept of contemporary patriotism should not only take into account the cultural factor, but also that it should not juxtapose it with the legislative one. It argues that both types of communities, i.e. the nation and the state, affect the development of man’s personal identity and social activities. To be more specific, the nation and the state use different, albeit complementary, means in educating the individual: while the nation exerts influence on the character of the members of the community through customs, the state cares about laws. By clarifying the ontic determinants of both social formations, the article reveals the fundamental principle of their existence, i.e. moral education of the individual. This principle is of universal significance and it can be helpful in re-defining patriotism in a way suitable to the needs of contemporary culture.

Doskonałość jako kategoria pedagogiczna. Poszukiwania w obszarze pism polskich neotomistów

Author(s): Ewa Rutka / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The article is based on the category of perfection. The author begins by symbolically showing the origin of this concept in philosophical thought: the sources of the concept as well as the evolution of various definitions and conceptualisations of perfection. Then, she points to the relationship between excellence and concepts related to education (kalokagathia, paideia). The main purpose of this article is to situate the category of perfection in Neo-Thomistic thought. This takes place in such areas as: upbringing, morality, purposes of education and purposes of life. Among the works of Polish Neo-Thomists, the author seeks appeals to perfection, forms of its perception and the scope of this category. The analysis chiefly aims to show the relationship between the concepts of perfection, virtue and efficiency.

Mądrość wychowawcza Elżbiety Czackiej FSK ujawniona w stosunku do ludzi niewidomych i słabowidzących

Author(s): Małgorzata Łobacz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

A specific type of interpersonal interaction is the relation between an educator and their student. It is on this plane that the metaphysics of help is revealed: the educator is obliged to support their student in fulfilling their humanity. Such an attitude is exemplified by the founder of the Society for the Care of the Blind, Mother Elżbieta Róża Czacka, who helped her blind students to release all of their resources and abilities, especially those hidden and marginalised ones, to make them lead a possibly self-reliant and independent life. The phenomenon of the educational concept of Róża Czacka – in addition to the affirmation of the personal dignity of her students – relies on respecting the value of truth and consistency together with imposing realistic requirements on people with visual disabilities. Her own blindness made her realise that this kind of disability is a severe limitation, but thanks to her personal belief in God she could find meaning in her life, which became service to the blind, especially children.

Pedagogika zaangażowania. Teoria i praktyka wychowania w ujęciu Janusza Tarnowskiego

Author(s): Stanisław Chrobak,Kamilla Frejusz / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

Person-centred pedagogy strives to place the person at the heart of all educational efforts (both theoretical and practical ones). An important element of the educational process understood in this way is the man-to-man attitude. In this context, as Janusz Tarnowski emphasises, “just like authenticity, dialogue and meeting, the attitude of engagement has its source in «the deepest me», i.e. the core of the human person, its sanctuary, the house of the Triune God”. Therefore, when we talk about engagement pedagogy, we want to pre­sent: 1) basis for personal and existential pedagogy; 2) idea of engagement; 3) engagement as a value needed in education. Taking up the question of engagement and its importance in education, Tarnowski indicates the enormous difficulty that is connected with this attitude both on the part of the educator and the pupil. Each of the fields of “engaged activity” has a specific potential for conscious participation and is combined with the consent to the hardship of development.

Fenomenologicko- personalistická filozofia výchovy Edity Steinovej a jej úvahy o výchove ženy

Author(s): Mária Potočárová,Milan Krankus / Language(s): Slovenian Issue: 4/2018

The demand for the work of Edith Stein has been growing, but it includes mainly the interpretation of her philosophical and religious thoughts, with less attention being paid to her opinions on the education of man. At the same time, it turns out that also in this field the scholar expressed many valuable ideas related to pedagogical theory and practice. The history of the philosophical thinking of the 20th century has been enriched by Edith Stein’s phenomenological-personality research into issues related to man and his existence. A special feature of her approach to these topics is that she combines the philosophical method of phenomenology with the Christian teachings and philosophy of Thomism. This fact had a direct impact on the new perspectives she adopted in the philosophy of education. The first part of the article deals with the philosophical and anthropological background and the education of man in Stein’s work. The second part, in turn, focuses on the specific expression of her thoughts on the individual determination of the role and the status of woman. With these points of departure in mind, we can arrive at further aims and tasks of education.

Idea wychowania nowego człowieka (homo sovieticus) i jej odzwierciedlenie w założeniach programowych Wszechzwiązkowej Organizacji Pionierskiej

Author(s): Romuald GRZYBOWSKI / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The All-Union Pioneer Organization was established in Russia in 1922 by the leaders of the Bolshevik Revolution as “a mass communist youth organization of the Soviet Union”. The strategic goal of the organization was to participate in the creation of a new man – homo sovieticus, a better kind of homo sapiens. To that end, the Young Pioneers recruited children of age 9–14 and subjected them to thorough ideological and political indoctrination tailored to the teachings of Lenin and Stalin. The activity of the Pioneer Organization was supervised by the ruling communist party, although the direct governing body was the Komsomol. Similarly to the Komsomol, the Young Pioneers had its own specific symbols, such as the red neck scarf, with three ends symbolizing three generations: the communists, the komsomolets and the pioneers; the pioneer badge; the salute; the uniform; the fanfare and the drum.

Edukacja kobiet wiejskich w Prusach Zachodnich w poglądach Anastazji z Czarlińskich Pospieszyłowej (1801–1878)

Author(s): Paweł ŚPICA / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

One of the most outstanding Polish women actively involved in educating the Polish population (mainly girls) in West Prussia in the 19th century was Anastazja Pospieszyłowa (born Czarlińska) (1801–1878), a teacher, commentator and social activist. This article presents her biography and activity as well as her views on rural women’s education, which were presented in the 1950s and the 1960s in the Polish local press (“Nadwiślanin”, “Gazeta Toruńska”). In her views, the following ideas were particularly visible: organic work of noble girls with rural girls, associations advocating the education of women of lower social strata and the launch of a fund for their education, as well as the initiative of creating a school for rural girls.

Aksjologia wychowania chrześcijańskiego do miłości – małżeństwa – rodziny w kaznodziejstwie i pedagogii ks. Juliana Michalca (1922–1988)

Author(s): Ryszard Małachowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 4/2018

The article examines axiological Christian education in the preaching and pedagogy of Father Julian Michalec, who was born in the South-Eastern Borderlands of the Second Polish Republic in 1922 and who died in 1988. The teaching of this priest-educator was aimed mainly at the academic youth of the Przemyśl and Wrocław Archdioceses in the period 1962–1988, during the time of the Polish People’s Republic. The teaching took place in totalitarian conditions, especially as regards education for love, marriage and family (axiological context: religious and educational; selected aspects of religion, cultural studies, history, and, in particular, family sciences, related to philosophy and theology, anthropology, ontology, axiology and pedagogy as well as psychology and sociology) and it prevented the Polish youth and their families from being dechristianised.
