Wychowanie społeczne w myśli konserwatywnej w Polsce 1945–1962
Social Education in Conservative Thought in Poland 1945–1962

Summary/Abstract: The end of World War II involved, among other things, new scientific considerations in the field of pedagogy. One area of interest was social education. In Poland in the period 1945–1962 two main concepts developed: first, a dominant, materialistic, communist-inspired ideology, and second, a concept inspired by conservative thought and Catholic assumptions that developed outside the mainstream of reflections on education. The aim of the article is to present the threads relating to social education, which appeared after 1945 in the work of representatives of Polish pedagogical thought functioning outside the main socialist paradigm. I focus on the conservative thought with the most oppositional potential in Poland, which was presented at that time mainly by Catholic-oriented educators. On the basis of primary source analysis, I draw attention to the issues that arise in this area: social virtues, family education and preparation for marital and parental roles, as well as national, state, and political education.
