„OGÓLNOŚĆ” WE WSPÓŁCZESNYM MYŚLENIU O PEDAGOGIACH
“GENERALITY” OF CONTEMPORARY PEDAGOGIES

Summary/Abstract: At the end of 20th century the category of “pedagogy” was returned to lexical resources of contemporary Polish pedagogy (as a science of education). A contemporary reconstruction of the scope and content of the notion enables to identify that in literature that it can be applied to: a) a technique of exerting an influence on a personality of the educated (the art of education), b) the wholeness of the praxis of education (synonym), c) a specific educational paradigm, d) a process of absorbing new forms of behaviour, knowledge, abilities, and the criteria of evaluating them. Elicited senses correspond to various types of rationalities and they require different levels of generality. Assuming that “pedagogies” are an object pedagogical research in all senses mentioned above, passing from generality characterizied by a practical rationality to generality characteristic to coherent rationality the process of producing pedagogical knowledge is required.
