Dialogue in Polish Schools: An Important Problem of Education and Pedagogy (Based on the Author’s Own Research)

Abstract

The subject of this study is dialogue at school. The theoretical aim is to show dialogue at school on the basis of literature on the subject, and the practical goal is to show how current and future school directors perceive the essence of dialogue. The qualitative research strategy was used, with the choice of method being the group interview. In terms of the research group, the respondents were chosen randomly from among postgraduate students, in the field of education and management in the Jesuit University of Philosophy and Education Ignatianum in Krakow. These included current and potentially future school headmasters. As part of this article, the essence of dialogue and contemporary threats resulting from the conditions of modern life are presented. The author attempts to characterize the contemporary Polish compulsory school in the context of undertaking a dialogue. This article also presents the analysis and conclusions of their own research, including conclusions for further educational practice. These include the following suggestions: continuous improvement of communication skills among teachers and other subjects of school life; learning about our own emotions and attitudes that condition dialogue and work on them; pay closer attention to the benefits of dialogue within educational institutions – developing appropriate strategies and adopting philosophies/discourses in order to improve and maintain dialogue; organization of free dialogue workshops throughout the country in order to increase the culture of dialogue of the Polish nation; taking into account the need to adapt the dialogue to the interlocutor, including people from foreign countries.
