Pedagogika zaangażowania. Teoria i praktyka wychowania w ujęciu Janusza Tarnowskiego
Engagement Pedagogy. The Theory and Practice of Education According to Janusz Tarnowski

Summary/Abstract: Person-centred pedagogy strives to place the person at the heart of all educational efforts (both theoretical and practical ones). An important element of the educational process understood in this way is the man-to-man attitude. In this context, as Janusz Tarnowski emphasises, “just like authenticity, dialogue and meeting, the attitude of engagement has its source in «the deepest me», i.e. the core of the human person, its sanctuary, the house of the Triune God”. Therefore, when we talk about engagement pedagogy, we want to pre­sent: 1) basis for personal and existential pedagogy; 2) idea of engagement; 3) engagement as a value needed in education. Taking up the question of engagement and its importance in education, Tarnowski indicates the enormous difficulty that is connected with this attitude both on the part of the educator and the pupil. Each of the fields of “engaged activity” has a specific potential for conscious participation and is combined with the consent to the hardship of development.
