Abstracts

EN

The aim of the article is to present the research results concerning, among the others, chosen identity elements, plans for life and value systems of secondary school students (general and technical secondary schools) in Dabrowa Gornicza and Tychy. It seemed interesting to learn the way young people, born in 1989 (the year when, according to Joanna Szczepkowska’s words "Communism ended in Poland") view the world around them. The sociological survey covered over 2000 graduates from Tychy and Dabrowa Gornicza, who took their Matura Examination in the spring of 2009. The survey results are important for at least a few reasons: • firstly, they are a diagnosis of personality condition of young people from Upper Silesia; • secondly, they may serve as a suggestion for ongoing discussion on education reform and further expectations in this area; • thirdly, they highlight (to some extent at least) who will shape the future of Poland and the Poles.
