ON DEMOCRATIZATION AND SELF-GOVERNANCE – A SOCIO-PEDAGOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

The article aims to systematise the concepts of self-governance and democratisation. This paper presents the terminological findings and different approaches to the issues of democratisation and communization. It points to the differing traditions of both concepts and the equivocalness and multidirectionality of thinking about democracy in school from the perspective of various educational theories. The authors also underline the long tradition of self-government in Polish schools, stressing its pedagogic aspect. In the last part of the article a theoretical justification of the democratization of school life has been undertaken.
