Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 158, Issue 3

Abstract

The aim of the article is to analyze the attitude of Ukrainian researchers to the changes that have occurred in pre-school education in Poland. Analyzing the foreign language literature, the author goes back to the work of such authors as: М. Babyazh, A. Vasylyuk, V. Pasichnyk, К. Savina, L. Lyashenko, L. Hrynevych, К. Korsak, O. Luhin, S. Derkach, W. Rohozina, S. Sisoyewa, T. Kristopchuk, S. V. Bocharov, J. R. Antonyuk, I. Bondarenko. The author’s interest aroused the point of view of the changes that took place in Polish pre-school education at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries. On the basis of the analysis of selected texts, the author states that according to Ukrainian researchers, the decentralization of power and the transfer of kindergartens to the management of local authorities were of key importance for the changes in pre-school education. In the initial phase, it had both positive and negative effects. The positive factors include the better knowledge of the needs and expectations of the environment regarding pre-school education institutions. To others – financial problems of local administration authorities and the resulting liquidation of many kindergartens. The Ukrainian authors also underline the impact of Poland becoming the European Union member and the related changes. They indicate, among other things: the possibility of establishing and running kindergartens by legal and natural persons, development of a unified program basis, the choice and development of pre-school programs by teachers, the introduction of early support of child development, the introduction of foreign language learning in the pre-schools, the use of activating methods. As a characteristic element of Polish pre-school education, they indicate conducting classes in groups of different ages. They also pay attention to the rules of recruitment to kindergartens and the fact that it is parents who decide at what age they send their child to kindergarten and for how many hours. Due to the apperance of the problem of multiculturalism, the subject of integration and tolerance on the one hand, and, on the other, patriotic and regional education have taken on a whole new meaning. Summing up the collected material, it is worth emphasizing that these days, when the whole world is becoming a global village, it is very important to raise new generations in respect of our own tradition, but also generations open to otherness. It is worth reaching out to the studies of our eastern neighbours, because they draw attention to such elements of changes that escape both Polish and Western European researchers.
