Dziecko-uczeń i jego potrzeby – z perspektywy nauczycielek szkół podstawowych i pedagogią Janusza Korczaka w tle
The Child-Learner and his Needs From the Perspective of Female Primary School Teachers and Janusz Korczak’s Pedagogy in the Background

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the article is to present the perception of chil- dren-learners and their needs by female primary school teachers. The research problem concerns teachers’ perspectives on a child-learner and their needs presented in teachers’ narrations. The research data was collected during the free-form interviews with a qualitative character. The argument starts with Janusz Korczak’s selected views. Subsequently, the participants’, i. e. primary school teachers’ perspec- tives on a child-learner’s needs were presented. The analysis of the participants’ responses indicates that they see children-learners as objects to be formed, supporting the hierarchical teacher-learner ar- rangement. Implementing the need for constant control and external stimulation, as well as limiting children’s freedom, is far away from the democratic and developmental perspective of schooling impact and Korczak’s system of anti-authoritarian influences.
