Freedom of Educational Subjects and Responsibility for Education

Summary/Abstract: RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: A description of how educational subjects perceive moral responsibil-ity for the education process.THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: In order to answer question: how do high schoolstudents and teachers perceive moral responsibility for the educational process? – individual in-depth interviews with eight teachers and focus interviews with sixty students were conducted.THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The moral responsibility can not be considered in iso-lation from the problem of the subject’s freedom. This text evokes three ways of understandingfreedom and responsibility: Cartesian, Leibnizian and Nietzschean.RESEARCH RESULTS: The analysis of research results, shows that students and teachers:1) don’t perceive moral responsibility for education as personal, own, but they shift the responsi-bility onto the others: ministry, political parties and system. 2) understand moral responsibility onlyin negative perspective. Responsibility is seen only as a blame, which is a consequence of inap-propriate or exceptional behaviour.CONCLUSIONS, RECOMMENDATIONS AND APPLICABLE VALUE OF RESEARCH: Noneof the groups are ready to change the status quo. The research results and conclusions concernonly the cases analyzed, and on this base, the generalizations should not be made from them.However, the emerging way in which educational subjects perceive moral responsibility for the ed-ucational process is of such concern that it should undergo a deeper analysis, for which this workcan serve as a starting point and inspiration.
