Co uczniowie z Polski oraz Ukrainy sądzą o uczeniu się i uczniu – doniesienie z badań
What Students From Poland and Ukraine Think About the Learning Process and the Student: A Research Report

Summary/Abstract: The article presents some results of research aimed at finding out how primary school students from Ukraine and Poland understand certain concepts related to school. The study used a survey method and a questionnaire that contained initiated questions. The sociocultural theory of J. S. Bruner supported the research conceptualization and design stages. The concepts of the following authors were used for description, explanation and interpretation: J. S. Bruner, R. Kwaśnica („Two rationalities”), M. Foucault; as well as the humanistic concept, symbolic interactionism and paradigmatic tension: constructivist approach vs. behavioural approach. A lack of motivation to study and a feeling of no purpose in engaging in what school offers are documented in the participants’ answers. Studying is a means to an end and a game where students experience positive and negative reinforcement, and play certain roles. It is also a cognitive adventure which, although sometimes difficult and unpleasant, requires effort, fosters self-development, constitutes a source of satisfaction. A portrait of a student as an incomplete person and a meaningful other emerges from the analysis of the statements.
