Abstract: | What is referred to are the results of nationwide quantitative and qualitative
studies conducted in several academic environments. The research
constitutes the background against which the condition (the current health,
inner intellectual and professional situation) of future teachers is shown
as well as the determinants of their preparation for work in multicultural
conditions. An authored multisided model of teachers’ education has been
also presented.
The research approach and interpretation of results have been subordinated
mainly to social developmental psychology, the idea of constructivist understanding
of individual and social development and intercultural education. In
applying the constructivist approach, incorporated into pedagogy from other
disciplines, the author’s proposal can be seen referring to constructivism with
the aim of understanding experiences of adults. It should be emphasized that
in the pedagogical literature this mainly concerns the knowledge of small
children.
The presented study provides a lot of new information and opens new prospects
of further research on the border of intercultural education and general
pedagogy, pedeutology, several sub-disciplines of psychology and sociology, as
well as of other fields of broadly understood humanities, which can enhance
the development of intercultural pedagogy. |
