FEMALE EDUCATIONAL IDEALS IN POLISH PERIODICALS ON PEDAGOGY IN THE YEARS 1918–1939

Summary/Abstract: The phenomenon of educational ideals is immensely important to educators and teachers – they are used as tools to build images that determine goals, methods, forms, and means of educational works and so they have an impact not only on educational theory and practice, but also on the development of future generations and the entire society. The issue of female educational ideals is a particularly interesting one – the approach to women, their role in society and education, has changed hugely over the past centuries. In this paper, I wanted to present a certain excerpt of this process with regard to the Poland of the years 1918–1939. The scientific goal of research presented in the article was to reconstruct female educational ideals functioning in the interwar period as found in educational periodicals and analyzing their diversification against philosophical and ideological premises of various educational concepts. Results of research presented below constitute and attempt to identify a neglected or forgotten aspect of Polish pedagogical thought.
