Abstract

The aim of the article is to study the scientific contribution of B.Navroczynski to the formation and development of Polish pedagogy of culture. The versatility of the problem necessitated the use of the following research methods in a complex: general scientific (analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization, which are necessary for the study and generalization of scientific works of Polish and Ukrainian scientists); search and bibliographic (study of authentic Polish and domestic bibliographic and pedagogical publications); system-functional (generalization and substantiation of regularities of development of Polish pedagogy of culture). We explored the life and creative path of B. Nawroczynski, who was a prominent Polish scientist and a philosopher of education, one of the creators of Polish scientific pedagogy. We determined the key provisions of pedagogy of culture, presented in the works of the scholar. The essence of the culture and its values were described. Particular attention was paid to the expediency of pedagogical activities aimed at the formation of human personality. We determined the processes that form the spiritual life of a person according to B. Nawroczynski. We analyzed the «ideal of education», that integrates the goals of education and training and expresses the deep needs of society. The scholar had considered that the highest and most far-reaching goal of the pedagogical process was forming of a rich and strong personality. According to B. Nawroczynski learning and upbringing can lead to this goal. There is a close connection between them, it’s a common goal, that is the improvement of a man as a whole and, as a consequence, the formation of an independent and creative personality.
