Education for ecological bonds with nature and care about its protection in the Republic of Poland in the period between the wars (1918-1939)

Abstract

In the years 1918-1939 the Ministry of Religions of Public Enlightenment recommended periodicals for public use, in which articles on the protection of nature were published. The purpose of the article is to explain the process of education for ecological attitudes (indirect education in the teaching space) on the example of the “Ziemia” periodical issued by the Polish Sightseeing Society. The structure of this article is based on chronology and issue analysis. A qualitative method of research was applied in the process of scientific research (the qualitative analysis of a text/qualitative analysis of documents), in which a hermeneutic understanding and text interpretation is relevant.
