This article draws attention and describes the importance of resilience as a protective factor in both mental and social maturing processes. The topic was inspired by the SPARK Resilience (ISKRA Odporności) pilot prevention programme, whose aim is to support emotional immunity defined as the ability to control reactions to events and to cope with stress. This article presents the programme’s assumptions and the conclusions from the first part of the research that serve to evaluate it. A group of 433 students from 13 schools in Poland from the 5th to 8th grades of primary school and the 1st grade of secondary school were surveyed in the selected procedure. The surveys conducted via the Internet used, among others, the SPP-18 scale developed by N. Ogińska-Bulikand Z. Juczyński. The research demonstrated the respondents’ level of resilience, which turned out to be significantly lower in the surveyed girls than in the boys.
The main goal of this article is to show how early education pupils see school as a place of their development. This presentation is built upon two resources used by the contemporary Polish school – information and communication technologies and personalization of education. The presented image is based on data collected through on-line questionnaires from 1,772 pupils from Classes I–III at primary schools taking part in the project of implementing the method of tutoring “Raise a wise man”. As a result of the analysis, it can be stated that the group of the youngest students rates the school best, and the growing need to contact tutors who build with them individual relationships based on trust may indicate room for modeling the proper use of information and communication technologies.
