Jak kształcić pedagogów? – refleksje Profesor Anny Przecławskiej
How to educate educators? – Professor Anna Przecławska’s reflections

Summary/Abstract: The article includes an analysis of two articles written by Professor Anna Przecławska. Both of them concern the academic education of educators (not only teachers). In the early 1970s article Przecławska discusses a new approach to teacher training due to fundamental socio-political change in Poland covering all spheres of social life, also educational and cultural institutions where educators worked. Przecławska talks about the links between practice and general, theoretical knowledge, emphasising the necessity to create a new kind of student practice – not based on following the masters. A reflection on the place of theory and practice in academic preparation of educators and their social role is developed in Professor Przecławska’s article from 1985. The main tasks of educators as organisers of educational process are discussed. To fulfil them, educators should have a broad knowledge about man, not only narrow, specialist, practical preparation. Educators also need skills allowing them to use academic knowledge to solve practical and theoretical problems in their educational work.
