„Biuletyn Historii Wychowania” (1995–2024) z okazji publikacji jubileuszowego – 50 tomu
type: item
description: The article aims to analyze the content and history of one of the most important Polish academic journals in history of education, history of schools, and pedagogical thought. The Bulletin of the History of Education has been on the publishing market since 1995. It is an organ of the Main Board of the Society for the History of Education. At the same time, it is published by the renowned publishing house of the Poznan Society of Friends of Learning in cooperation with the Faculty of Educational Studies of Adam Mickiewicz University. It is also the only Polish academic journal publishing an up-to-date bibliography of its scientific discipline each year. The topics of the published articles are very broad, both in a chronological sense – from antiquity to modern times – and geographically: from civilizations of ancient Egypt and the Middle East, to Europe and Poland, as well as in the field of issues and approaches (including the methodology, source, historiographic or statistical ones). The list of topics is dominated by the history of upbringing and education and the history of various educational institutions. Several papers published in Bulletin can be described as interdisciplinary studies on the border of humanities and social sciences.

Ogrody Dziecięce im. W.E. Raua w Warszawie w latach 1902–1906 – harmonia między sportem a zabawą
type: item
description: Children’s Gardens W.E. Rau in Warsaw operated as a separate organization under the patronage of the Warsaw Hygienic Society. The task of this institution was to organize games and physical activities for children and teenagers. In the years 1903–1906, a total of 13 play gardens operated, of which four deserve special attention: Floriański, Agrykola, Saski and Nowogrodzki. There were separate playing fields and indoor sports halls. At that time, the Garden Committee moved away from the Prussian model when it comes to the organization and course of games. Largely thanks to Władysław Ryszard Kozłowski, inspiration was drawn from the Swedish gymnastics P.H. Ling. From that moment on, the games took place at different times with various intensities of various physical activities. In addition to team games and activities, gymnastics based on the harmonious development of the body and mind, singing and seasonal activities such as swimming lessons and bathing in the summer and sledding and playing on the ice rink in the winter were introduced. The article was devoted to the specific operation of the W. E. Rau Gardens in the years 1902–1906, i.e. in the phase of their intensive development and specialization.

Działalność organizacyjna i dydaktyczna Wandy Szuman w Katolickiej Szkole Społecznej w Poznaniu (1927–1939)
type: item
description: The article examines a previously unrecognized aspect of Wanda Szuman’s biography: her role in the establishment and development of the Catholic Social School (KSS) in Poznań, particularly regarding courses for educators of closed institutions. She was placed in charge of the courses, which began in 1926 – one year before the school’s official opening – due to her extensive scientific, practical, and organizational experience in factory education. In addition to her managerial responsibilities, she oversaw the curriculum, evaluated students’ work, and coordinated with the Warsaw pedagogical community to ensure that the courses complied with ministerial standards. Held between 1926 and 1937, the courses were highly popular, and the formal requirements for candidates were gradually raised over time. Wanda Szuman was involved in their development until 1933, when she reduced her activities at the KSS to take over the management of the Catholic Educational Institute in Poznań. Her dedication contributed to maintaining a high standard of education at the KSS and to the advancement of modern teaching methods informed by both national and international experience. Her educational work in the capital of Wielkopolska left a lasting impact on the training of educators for closed institutions during the interwar period.

„Wróciłam na polską Warmię i Mazury”. Wspomnienia Marii Zientary-Malewskiej z 1945 roku
type: item
description: Maria Zientara-Malewska was a social activist, organizer of education in Warmia and Masuria under German occupation and after 1945, a teacher and promoter of the culture of the Prussian lands and the author of many studies referring to the traditions of this region. She also left behind personal notes, letters and memories. Especially in the latter, she presents a picture of the social and educational situation in East Prussia in the post-Blebiscite period and after regaining independence in 1945. Attention is paid to the problems and social situation of the population of Warmia and Mazury and the shaping of education in the Board of Trustees of the Masurian School District in 1945. Memories were treated as a secondary source, subject to the method of collecting data in the form of searching archives. At the same time, the events described by the author are confronted with historical data, thus criticizing the source.

Stan badań nad dziejami Towarzystwa do Ksiąg Elementarnych
type: item
description: The article explores the state of research on the Society for Elementary Books, a key educational institution in 18th-century Poland established in 1775 to support the reforms of the National Education Commission. The Society’s mission was to develop a modern curriculum aligned with Enlightenment ideals and tailored to national needs. This literature review highlights significant studies, particularly those by Janina Lubieniecka, who analyzed some of the the textbooks and educational programs created by the Society. Although many sources were lost during wars, the surviving studies continue to offer rich insights into the Society’s role in shaping Poland’s educational system.

Częstochowskie szkoły muzyczne w okresie dwudziestolecia międzywojennego. Zarys problematyki
type: item
description: The situation of music education in the 19th century was very difficult. Most people interested in this field studied under the supervision of private teachers. The education usually included playing a chosen instrument, without additional subjects in the field of music theory. The level of private teachers varied greatly. There were both professionals and amateurs among them. In Czestochowa, changes began to occur gradually with the establishment of the first professional music school established by Ludwik Wawrzynowicz, two private ones headed by Feliks Witeszczak and Bolesław Grzewiński, and other associations operating in the craft and industrial environment. Thanks to them, the group of professional musicians, performers, teachers, popularizers and music activists grew. The article presents an outline of the activities of the above-mentioned music schools operating in the city during the interwar period.

Emilia Waśniowska – sylwetka i twórczość poznańskiej pedagożki i poetki
type: item
description: The study aims to present the profile and work of Poznań educator and poet, Emilia Waśniowska, who died on November 26, 2005, at only 51. She was a valued Polish language teacher, headmistress of Primary School No. 34 in Poznań, poet, and author of stories and song lyrics for children. E. Waśniowska’s pedagogical and artistic achievements are known in Poland primarily thanks to her constant cooperation with Primary School No. 83 in Poznań, called „Łejery”, which is the only school in the country with its theatre and implementing its pre-art education program, which in 1990 founded by Elżbieta Drygas and Jerzy Hamerski. The school has been named after Emilia Waśniowska since 2006, and the founders and management of the facility continuously promote the texts of their patron and organise each year „Emiliada”, during which young people and teachers of Polish schools have the opportunity to learn about the artistic legacy and profile of the poet. To achieve the assumed goal, the author of the study critically analyses existing and retrieved sources, including, above all, scientific publications, press materials, songbooks, volumes of poetry containing texts by the deceased artist, websites related to Poznań education and interviews carried out in the 2023 school year/ 2024 with Jerzy Hamerski.

Studenci z Polski na uniwersytetach niemieckich w późnym średniowieczu
type: item
description: The article aims to discuss the state of research on the issue of student mobility from Polish lands, including Royal Prussia, to universities in the Holy Empire’s lands in the late Middle Ages. In my analyses, I also include territories under the rule of the Teutonic Order in the 15th century due to their ties with Poland. The most popular destination for Polish youth was the University of Prague, founded by King Charles IV of Luxembourg as the first university in the Holy Empire. The Czech university was an interesting alternative to Italian and French universities, not only for economic reasons. Other destinations to which students from Poland went were universities in Erfurt, Heidelberg, Cologne, Vienna, Würzburg, and Leipzig, as well as in Tübingen, Rostock, Greifswald, Freiburg im Breisgau, Ingolstadt, Mainz. The municipal authorities and cathedral chapters contributed to these and no other destinations, conducting an appropriate scholarship policy. Significant in this context are the relatively numerous scholarships funded from the first half of the 15th century by Prussian and Livonian cities. The students were dominated by the sons of townspeople, both from larger cities and smaller centres. A few peasants and monks, especially Dominicans and Cistercians, were left to study. In the article, I also touch on student peregrinations of princes from the Piast dynasty

„Za każdą okazyją pisywać listy” – korespondencja jako źródło do badania staropolskich wojaży edukacyjnych
type: item
description: One of the most valuable and richest sources of information about Old Polish education is correspondence. The upbringing of the younger generation has always been considered important from the point of view of the individual, the family, society and the state, hence these issues were given a lot of attention in epistolary sources, both private and official. The plenitude of such sources, their diverse subject matter and the specific nature of this form of communication mean that they can serve as a basis for reconstructing various aspects of Old Polish educational journeys. The archival collections contain many letters written in connection with this type of education. They address issues related to various aspects of living abroad, studying or educational travel. Many people were involved in such trips, writing letters on topics important in the context of the journey. We therefore have letters from trips to domestic schools, journeys to foreign countries, written by travelling young people, their guardians and letters sent from home by parents, and finally letters from strangers who were interested in the affairs of young travellers.

Świat we wszystkich swoich częściach… Władysława Aleksandra Łubieńskiego jako źródło do poznania Ameryki Łacińskiej w latach 40. XVIII wieku
type: item
description: W.A. Łubieński’s book entitled „The World in All Its Parts” was published in 1740. It is the first world geography published in Polish. The author included a description of countries and territories located in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America and South America. The article uses a description of the Western Hemisphere regarding South and Central America. The description is geographical and historical in nature. The article is divided into several parts. The introduction discusses the sources of information about Latin America in the Republic of Poland until the publication of the book by W.A. Łubieński. Then the author and the motives for writing the book are presented and the source material is characterized. The last part is a description of Latin America. It is divided into the following topics: ancient accounts of the existence of an unknown land, the discovery of America, the location and geographical conditions, fauna and flora, the culture of peoples in the pre- and post Cumbrian period, the colonization of the West Indies and the system of managing colonies, the Catholic Church and faith. W.A. Łubieński’s work published in 1740 satisfied the inner curiosity and the need for science. This work was the basis for fundamental changes in Polish science, education, periodicals, printing of textbooks and scientific works.

Literatura panegiryczna w historyczno-pedagogicznych badaniach nad szkolną edukacją staropolską
type: item
description: The text analyses the methodological problems faced by researchers of early modern educational practices in the 16th–18th centuries. The key challenge is the use of diverse source materials, such as normative texts, textbooks, student notes, and literary works. The author discusses the usefulness of two research methods – hermeneutics and phenomenology – in the analysis of panegyric content, indicating their role in the reconstruction of the teaching and upbringing process, as well as the experience of the audience. He emphasizes that these texts allow for the capture not only of factual knowledge, but also the spiritual and identity dimension of education in the former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The article illustrates these methodological assumptions with examples of specific panegyric works created in the school environment.

Edukacja czy propaganda? Sztuki plastyczne w kręgu mecenatu artystycznego Stanisława Augusta Poniatowskiego
type: item
description: The arts towards the end of the 18th century – the period of Stanislaw August rule (1764–1795) – developed in very difficult times of failing Polish statehood. In an attempt to preserve the independence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the king pursued a consistent modernization agenda in a variety of areas. The proposed reform program required, however, mindset changes across the society. As an enlightened ruler, Stanislaw August believed in the educational and propaganda benefits of the arts, with the ultimate goal of serving the national interest and strengthening the commonwealth. The room decorations in the Royal Castle in Warsaw and the Palace on the Isle in the Royal Łazienki represent the best examples of the king’s efforts in this area.

Słowo i obraz wychowuje. Wybór książek o tematyce patriotycznej z przełomu XIX i XX w. adresowanych do dzieci
type: item

Zabawki dziecięce w niepublikowanych wspomnieniach rękopiśmiennych z terenu Królestwa Polskiego przełomu XIX i XX wieku (ze zbiorów Biblioteki Narodowej)
type: item
description: The results of the source analyses presented in this article complement the authors’ earlier research on previously unpublished manuscripts from the collections of the National Library, which explore various aspects of childhood and youth in the Kingdom of Poland at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The memoirs of both female and male diarists provide valuable insights into children’s toys and the games associated with them. These accounts offer an important contribution to the existing knowledge of toy history, particularly in identifying the repertoire of toys popular among children from different social backgrounds, including factory-made toys, more common among wealthier children, and handcrafted or improvised toys, which appeared across social groups. Attention is paid to the children’s gender and age, the materials from which the toys were made, the circumstances in which they were received, the places where they were acquired, and the ways in which they were used.
