The paper attempts to characterize attitudes and opinions of the young Łódź teachers which are related to moral aspects of the social and professional tasks they.perform. Attitudes and opinions of the old generation of teachers form a kind of background for studying the problem. From the available data it follows that, despite an established conviction, young teachers show more critical judgement of their moral attitudes than the old teachers. They are also more conscious of the presence of conflict situations and the necessity to face moral choices in their professional activity. At the same time they often lack professional responsibility e.g. they are late for lessons or are not prepared properly. At any rate, they admit it more frequently than the old teachers do. The teachers' attitudes are influenced on the one hand by lax social discipline which permits certain relativism of evaluation of moral norms, and on the other hand by teachers’ working conditions which do not encourage the young to meet high moral standardes. The specific tasks that teachers fulfill make us expect more self-consciousness concerning the moral aspects and the results of their work. It seems that the existing shortcomings could be compensated to some extent by introducing proper programmes for educating teachers .

The present analysis is a report of an empirical study. Out of three most Important values, 67# of students chose "successful family life" in the first place. Second in the hierarchy of values was "health" - chosen by ca. half of the interviewed. Subsequent positions were taken up by "interesting job" and "loyal friends" (every third person); "clear conscience" and "great reciprocated love" (every fourth person); "life full of adventure and travel" (every fifth person). The thesis that it is a "materialist generation" finds no proof since only 17% chose material welfare, while many appreciated moral values. As many as 28% chose clear conscience (every third man, and every fifth woman). The interviewed students were not keen on power, fame or calm, quiet life. A large per cent of respondents (65%) are practicing believers in God. Nevertheless, their religiousness is emotional and traditional rather than reflective and moral. There exists no significant relation between religiousness and morality. There is evidence of serious crisis of faith in socialism and its capacities. Nevertheless, it is not a totally frustrated generation. In spite of the crisis ca. 60% of the respondents estimate their material situation as good or very good and an equal number regard themselves as happy, though the sense of happiness or unhappiness depends solely on health.

Artykuł podejmuje problem charakteru więzi tworzonych w szkole z punktu widzenia jej zadań wychowawczych i dydaktycznych. Szkoła stanowiąca obok domu - wspólnoty najważniejszą instytucję socjalizującą musi spełniać określane warunki, aby proces (socjalizacji) wychowania był zgodny z założonymi oczekiwaniami. Perspektywa historyczno-socjologiczna zastosowana w artykule pozwala postawić tezę, że warunkiem tyra jest m.in. wspólnotowy charakter więzi funkcjonujących w szkole. Tymczasem szkoła współczesna przybiera coraz bardziej charakter zrzeszenia co ogranicza możliwość wypełniania zadań wychowawczych, a także dydaktycznych przez tę instytucję. Więzi występujące w szkole współczesnej mają w większości charakter rzeczowy a nauczyciele i uczniowie tworzą dość wyraźnie oddzielone zbiorowości połączone wewnętrznymi, rzadko krzyżującymi się więziami pozytywnymi, w rezultacie szkoła współczesna nie wyzwala pozytywnej, emocjonalnej motywacji do uczestnictwa w nie jr coraz bardziej ogranicza sferę autentyczności i spontaniczności zachowań, ograniczając również sferę potrzeb, które mogą być w jej ramach zaspokajane. Z tego punktu widzenia niezbędnym wydaje się przynajmniej częściowe odformalizowanie szkoły. Konsekwencją takich zmian strukturalnych byłoby poszerzenie ról nauczycielskich o funkcje wychowawcze i wzrost poczucia podmiotowości u uczniów.

The article provides a sociological characteristic of teachers from the viewpoint of features placing this category in a wider social structure. The analysis encompasses also the degree of internal coherence of this category. It is but a fragment of more extensive analyses concerning the place of teachers in the society's macrostructure. The study reveals that teachers represent a socio-professional category, which is characterized with a specific structure of social features typical for the inteligentsia and here mainly in the area of the level of educational background and cultural consumption and, to a smaller extent, in the area of performed managerial functions (absence of expanded formal hierarchic structure in the education system) and income levels. They represent the most numerous professional category among the intelligentsia (not counting technicians). According to the estimates of the teachers themselves their social position is closest to that of civil officers, and it is estimated to be each lower than that of doctors, lawyers, and engineers. And oven though the teachers do not constitute an internally fully homogeneous category - the educational background proved to be a main dimension of differentiation - they display distinct features of a socio-professional group. This is confirmed among others by the observed strong tendency towards maintaining social and marital contacts within their own professional category, convergence of estimates as regards the socio-professional position held by them as well as observance of their own specific attitude to work or personality features. Summing it up the authors believe that teachers may constitute along with other professional categories a sociological unit of studies on the social structure.
