Summary/Abstract: The text is an attempt to analyze the condition of Polish sociology of education at the turn of the century. It presents changes in the identity of a subdiscipline and their consequences. It also indicates a problem of internal divide within the sociology of education, which is related to the changing set of its key terms,. This shift leads to a differentiation between sociology of education and sociology of schooling in Poland. Causes of this situation may be found in the process of marginalization of this subdiscipline within sociology, which results from its borderland location (between sociology and pedagogy) and also its historical pathways. The article ends with a tentative answer to the question regarding the possibility and direction of further development of this field of knowledge in Polish sociology.
