Edukacja ekologiczna / klimatyczna w podstawie programowej i w seriach podręczników szkolnych do nauczania języka polskiego (jako ojczystego)
Ecological/climate education in the core curriculum and in series of school textbooks for teaching Polish (as a native language)

Summary/Abstract: Ecological crisis researchers emphasize the need to work on changing people’s environmental awareness. Pro-climate education of young generations becomes a necessity. The paper intends to define the level of involvement of Polish language education in education for the climate. For this purpose, a qualitative analysis was performed of the framework curriculum and of two series of textbooks for Polish as a native language for primary school students (published by Wydawnictwa Szkolne i Pedagogiczne and Nowa Era). The findings show that the amount of content conducive to pro-climate education expressed explicitly, including pro-ecological activities in tasks and exercises for students, is scarce in both series of textbooks. The analysis also shows that the educational document and the textbooks offer much more potential: the curriculum contains items that draw attention to the relationship between the word and the world. Profiling environmental tasks have not been provided in the case of many works present in the textbooks. Therefore, to make sure education for the climate is present in the content and in students’ activities, it is essential to involve and prepare the teacher for the role that involves extracting potential pro-ecological opportunities from the curriculum and from the texts.
