Journal Title: Studia Paedagogica Ignatiana. Rocznik Wydziału Pedagogicznego Akademii Ignatianum w Krakowie - Year 2014, Vol 17, Issue 0
Abstract
The author concisely presents the efforts and achievements of the 25-year work of Jesuits with regard to education and shaping of the young Polish generation. Undoubtedly, the presented period is the time of concerted effort and achievements. These changes, among other things, were reflected in the change of the name from the Faculty of Philosophy to the Jesuit University of Philosophy and Education Ignatianum (Polish: Wyższa Szkoła Filozoficzno-Pedagogiczna Ignatianum) and then to the Jesuit University Ignatianum in Krakow (Polish: Akademia Ignatianum w Krakowie). The changes in the name result from demanding but beneficial scientific and didactic achievements. Moreover, the article provides the reader with the first names and surnames of the university authorities in the chronological order. It does not fail to mention people who did not hold executive positions but whose devotion and activities have become an integral part of the history of the presented university. The article shows an increase in the number of students and their interest for the educational institution established 25 years ago. Furthermore, the article presents changes which have taken place with regard to the number of courses of study, the educational offer of the university, as well as subjects which used to be obligatory. With hindsight, viewing the development of the university since its beginnings, the author feels deeply respectful of the authorities who created it as well as optimistic about its future. The humble beginnings dating back to the academic year 1989/1990 have brought unexpectedly positive results. Observing the interest for the Jesuit University Ignatianum in Krakow of young people, as well as the diligent work of its teaching staff, one may expect further scientific, didactic and educational achievements in the education of the young generation.
