Summary/Abstract: The notions of cultural education and culture-oriented education are often used interchangeably in practice and pedagogical theory. However, due to their different meanings and different uses in various contexts, such overlapping use of these concepts often leads to misunderstandings, not only in pedagogy, but also in cultural studies. Taking these factors into consideration, the author approaches this challenge from a wider perspective, namely, by examining different conceptualizations ascribed to cultural education during the post-1989 transformation in Poland (including key reports on cultural education). The author draws basic conclusions on the basis of these considerations.
