Female Educational Ideals in the oeuvre of Stanisław Podoleński

Abstract

Reflection on educational ideals is inseparable from man’s educational activity. While providing education, we must have a vision of knowledge, skills, features, and qualities, we would like our student to possess in the future. For the purpose of this paper, I have decided to present the concept of ideal of female education of the interwar period in the works of Stanisław Podoleński, based on a broad scope of female-related issues addressed in his articles and books. Executing a reconstruction may enable us to understand the specific character of women’s education and schooling in the Poland of the interwar period and may constitute an element z allowing us to trace changes within the field of educational teleology which occurred in Poland in the 20th and 21st century
