WORKSHOP "SCHOOL AS A SUBJECT OF RESEARCH. PEDAGOGICAL ECOLOGY - ECOLOGICAL PEDAGOGY" AS AN IMPULSE TO CHANGE THINKING ABOUT CONTEMPORARY SCHOOL
One of the planned activities within the framework of the implementation of the tasks of the project Lets Care: Building Safe And Caring Schools To Foster Educational Inclusion And School Achievement was the workshop “School as a subject of research. Pedagogical Ecology – Ecological Pedagogy”. The workshop was organized by a member of the Let’s Care project team from University Ignatianum in Cracow, prof. Maria Marta Urlińska, who together with doctoral students, prepared scientific posters related to the key categories of the project.
The doctoral students prepared individual scientific posters as part of the workshop. The content of the posters referred to the constitutive elements of the school (including the school culture, the school climate and hidden school curriculum). Participants were asked to show the school as a system, organization, institution, community and educational environment. The starting point for consideration was Urie Bronfenbrenner’s Ecological Theory of Development.
The results of the collaboration – the scientific posters of the doctoral students – were presented during the poster session at the International Scientific Conference “Colors and shades of life – personal, educational, social and cultural spaces of everyday life”. The conference took place on 23-24.05.2024 at the University Ignatianum in Cracow.
The workshop provided the impetus for the doctoral students to prepare scientific texts, which, together with the scientific posters, will be included in a collective publication in the publishing series “Social Pedagogy – Support and Care”, published by University Ignatianum in Cracow.
