“Integral Nursery Education in E. Bojanowski’s System of Education – Continuation and Change” by Sister M. Opiela

Abstract

The issue of integral nursery education is highly important, especially nowadays, in an era when such values are likely to disappear. These values such as family, education, respect or dignity seem to be eradicated out of society. In the plurality of numerous educational proposals, there has been the lack of the basic ones, in which, the subjectivity of a child plays a role of utter importance. In the age of consumerism, most of the Christian values have been disappearing, many individuals are likely to omit them within integral nursery education. In the age of postmodernist chaos, accompanied by the multiplicity of educational proposals, it is extremely difficult to implement the framework of a nursery educational system and a well proven educational method. It is not surprising that contemporary educators, teachers and parents are to face the hard task of preparing their pupils for life in a constantly changing reality. Unfortunately, in the plurality of numerous educational methods it is extremely difficult to choose the appropriate one, which would combine Christian values together with the biblical concept of the human being, respecting personal dignity. Therefore, it is essential to implement the educational method which includes all the above mentioned values. This is not always practiced in contemporary nursery education. E.
