Narracje podręcznikowe Profesor Bożeny Chrząstowskiej
Textbook Narrations by Professor Bożena Chrząstowska

Summary/Abstract: The main aim of an article is an analysis of the textbooks of the Polish history literature course in a high school. Bożena Chrząstowska’s textbooks Starożytność – oświecenie (1987) as well as Literatura współczesna (1992) combine structuralism tradition and new tendencies in Polish education which are oriented to the esthetic expectation of the students and also their intellectual skills. At the beginning of this article the author focuses on Chrząstowska’s notion of the literature works reading by students which she demonstrated in the article Polonistyka szkolna w procesie komunikacji literackiej (1977). During the next decade Chrząstowska’s didactic proposals partly turned to new direction including a “center-anthropological” orientation in educational process but she firmly expressed necessity of rationalization of text reading in school. Chrząstowska’s textbooks are the crucial didactic proposals which supported students during the process of building their reading skills, mainly, interpretation of literary works. Thanks to these abilities young people – according to Professor Chrząstowska – will be able to make aesthetic choosing in the future.
