Literackie teksty edukacji wczesnoszkolnej wobec wyzwań epoki antropocenu
Literary Texts of Early School Education Against the Challenges of the Anthropocene Era

Summary/Abstract: The contemporary social crisis requires deep reflection and making the right decisions to counteract the effects of the changes that have taken place. The Anthropocene, as the time when man became the force responsible for the transformations taking place on Earth, poses specific challenges to us, living in the present times. The aim of the ar- ticle is to indicate the reason for the actions taken to prevent climate change by presenting specific literary texts that fulfill this require- ment. For the needs of the analyses, the document analysis method was used. Bruce’s experience began with defining the concept of social crisis. In the next part, the climate crisis was pointed out as a contem- porary existential threat. The opinion of the European Union in this regard was quoted. The role of education as a guarantee of changes in the process of transforming the ecological awareness of modern man was emphasized. As a result of the analysis of documents, the rank of Polish language education in this area was indicated: with full convic- tion and responsibility, a literary text was established as a modulator of awareness attitudes; methods supporting the development of eco- logical attitudes in the education process were presented. The essence of creative work with a literary text was also emphasized. Specific, se- lected literary texts from the suggested reading list for grades 1–3 of primary school were recommended, the content of which develops pro-ecological and cognitive competences, taking into account the challenges of the Anthropocene.
