Abstract
The aim of the discussion is to analyse Florian Znaniecki’s “Sociology of Education”. The indicated author is an outstanding Polish sociologist originating from the Poznan scientific community. He gained international fame by work Polish Peasant in Europe and America, co-authored by William Thomas. In “Sociology of Education” the educational process was described and analysed from a sociological perspective. On the other hand, in this article, the authors propose to pay attention to other social factors in the 21st century, which Znaniecki did not consider due to the period in which he lived. The thesis chosen for the presented work assumes that the issue of education is related to the field of science, which is sociology. The conclusions emphasize that such a relationship inclines to broaden knowledge in the field of sociology in the pedagogical environment and to use its achievements in educational work.
