Activity of the State Institute of Handicrafts in Warsaw in Light of Teachers’ Meeting Protocols
Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2016, Vol 19, Issue 2
Abstract
One of the famous educational institutions in the history of Polish higher education was, without a doubt, the State Institute of Handicrafts founded just before independence by its long-term Director Vladislav Przanowski. The aim of the institution was to train the workforce of the future teachers in the field of teaching craftwork. The school existed until 1951 and its history has not yet been precisely defined. However, in 1998 a book was published by one of its graduates – Eugenia Choińska and in the introduction, the author claims that the reconstruction of the school’s history, particularly in the interwar period, is difficult due to a lack of documents, which were destroyed or lost. Nevertheless, one essential factor in understanding the history of this institution is an analysis of the minutes of teachers’ council meetings for the period 1928–1939. Their analysis allows the activity of both students and teachers at this school in the field of national and international activity to be determined. It also allows the reconstruction of the organization, together with the educational and research matters of this institution. Their thorough analysis, supplemented by other sources, may serve as a starting point for the in-depth research into an institution so significant in the history of the Polish education.
