Axiological Contexts of Cooperation among Educational Environments in Poland
Axiological Contexts of Cooperation among Educational Environments in Poland

Summary/Abstract: In times of axiological loss, helplessness in the face of the manifestations of spreading evil, the questions about the possibility of the child’s development, supporting him/her in striving for perfection and about the role of the family, school and church in these processes, seems to be justified. The aim of the study was to establish common values of the individuals representing three educational environments and to indicate the possibility of their effective cooperation. Based on participant observation conducted in 2009–2012 (in primary school) and in 2015–2017 (in junior secondary school) some interesting results were collected. The majority of children’s and adolescents’ caregiver find educational, cognitive, moral, prosocial and family values to be the most important. The main conditions for cooperation, which is possible and necessary, include favourable emotional climate, acceptance, trust, democratic respect of mutual rights, commitment, axiology permitting the ontology of ambivalence. The second part of the article presents some examples of joint activities undertaken on the initiative of parents, teachers, RE teachers and priests, such as class and school celebrations, bonfire parties, trips, theatre and cinema visits, meetings with interesting people, workshops conducted by teachers and parents, church events for children and families, preparations for religious ceremonies.
