On the importance of research on Polish language education in the preparation of candidates for the teaching profession

Abstract

The article will present the most important directions of contemporary research on Polish language education, related to the work of the teacher and the competences of the student, concerning: reading, the creation of oral and written expressions, the reception of prose and poetry, the shaping of attitudes, as well as the analysis and interpretation of other texts of culture. The importance of the results of these studies for the education of future teachers in the modern, changing school reality will also be discussed. The main problems that will be addressed in the academic reflection are the ways of disseminating quantitative and qualitative research during academic conferences organized for teachers (such as the Autumn School of Didactics of Polish Literature and Language in Krakow and the Congress of Polish Didactics) and the use of research results in schools, as well as the participation of students in conducting micro-studies. While paying attention to the opportunities and limitations of the usefulness of the results of research on Polish language education in teacher education, the findings resulting from the individual interests and research experiences of the author who conducts classes with students of the teaching specialty at the bachelor’s and master’s seminars turn out to be important. For the purpose of this article, a survey was conducted, based on a questionnaire of an online survey, whose participants were students of the teaching specialty.
