Wychowanie przez słownik (na przykładzie słownika pojęć religijnych dla dzieci B. Boguszewskiej)

Abstract

This article contains deliberations on the pedagogical dimension of Ilustrowany słownik katechetyczny (ISK) by Beata Boguszewska addressed at children of early school age, their parents and catechists. In an analysis of source, categories indicated in that context by Bogusław Nowowiejski, i.e. pure theory of law, encyclopaedic learning, educational character and persuasiveness, were used as verifiers of pedagogical dimension of the lexicon. Despite the fact that ISK had all the above mentioned properties, in the pedagogical aspect mainly open persuasiveness and educational character have become active. A high degree of persuasiveness of the ISK, compliant with the objectives of the dictionary in abstracto intended for children and youth, should be treated as its characteristic feature.
