The article is an attempt to diagnose the condition of the Polish theory of teaching in a temporal perspective. The starting point is the identification of three main strengths of the interwar theory of teaching: the interdisciplinarity of analyses, theoretical holism, consisting in strong connections between the theory of teaching and more general theories of pedagogy, and openness to the latest trends and theories of the social sciences of the time. These resources are indicated as a potential development inspiration for the discipline, neglected in the post-war years in order to submit to politically propagated theories, especially the pedagogy of Ivan Kairow, which led to a specific stagnation of the Polish theory of teaching, which can be observed today in the form of a theoretical monism, narrowing the subject of research and ignoring scientific theories dynamically developed in the world. At the end of the article, the existing possibilities and island manifestations of counteracting the stagnation and reversing the behavioural tendencies in teaching were indicated.
