Abstract

The paper is a continuation of the series presenting views of the Polish re- searchers on the early school education teacher within the space of the 19th and 20th centuries. The paper consists of two parts. In the first, the author presents the areas of scientific interest of Stefan Szuman, and in the second, she analyses his pedagogical and psychological works in the field of his conception of the early school education teacher. Stefan Szuman created fundamental principles of the Polish child psycholo- gy (developmental and educational). His empirical research classified him to the representatives of the applied psychology. His scientific findings concerning the cognitive development and the creative activity of children are still applied by teachers. Szuman was addressing his research results to students, teachers, edu- cators, tutors and children care providers. His works on child cognition and every day work with children are still invaluable. We owe the Polish school of aesthetic education, the subject of which is to learn broadly understood aesthetic culture, to Szuman. He, similarly to his great predecessors, first of all saw the teacher as a tutor. However, he demanded that he should be, especially at the stage of early school education, an aesthetic tutor.
