The article is preconceptual in its nature, as it is an introduction to a planned research project in the area of pedagogy and law. The author describes the research in current trends in modern childhood studies, choosing the protection of children’s rights in the event of their parents’ separation as the basic research category. This category will be analyzed in ontological, epistemological and meth- odological dimensions. In view of the growing scale of family breakdowns, it becomes justified to ask a question about the way of experiencing, understanding and constructing knowledge about the subject of pedagogical and legal interactions – the child themself. Building knowledge about a child whose parents separate is not only intended to expand and build interdisciplinary theoretical knowl- edge, but also to provide a basis for designing adequate tools and activities to protect the rights of a child experiencing their parents’ separation. This article provides an outline of a research concept aimed at protecting children’s rights. The article contains extensive justifications for the research topic and the framework of the methodological concept.
Turczyk Małgorzata, Kategoria praw dziecka w refleksji dydaktyki akademickiej [The category of children’s rights in the reflection of academic didactics]. Kultura – Społeczeństwo – Edukacja nr 2(14) 2018, Poznań 2018, pp. 119–126, Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISSN 2300-0422. DOI 10.14746/kse.2018.14.10. This paper concerns the place and meaning of a new category of children’s rights, which also finds its place in the area of interest of academic didactics. The current approach to human rights in schooling is basically normative, thus, the present academic didactics is challenged to prepare students of education – and teaching – related faculties to confront the issues in the field of children’s rights at work in a professional manner. The paper illustrates an author’s concept of didactics in terms of education to children’s rights at higher schools which was elaborated based of the research on the didactic aspects of children’s rights education for teachers and educationists on the academic level. The following issues were put in question and served as a basis for specific approaches to academic didactics in terms of education on children’s rights: an essence and need for inclusion of content related to children’s rights in academic learning practice, didactic tools at teacher’s disposal and their role in education for children’s rights. On the one hand, the paper presents a discussion on theprofessional preparation of teachers and educationists to face challenges related to protection and promotion of children’s rights within educational environments. On the other hand, it includes an attempt to merge the discrepancy between theory and practice in this field.
This paper explores the issue of the value-based life and upbringing towards the values on the grounds of legal conditions in which the Polish educational system exists. Multiple standards are imposed on educational space and law, including especially education law, has been subject to major inflation, therefore, at the moment law is becoming one of the crucial factors that determine the structure and function of all subjects and institutions of education. Law not only determines the formal context of the system within which education occurs but also influences organizational aspects of ongoing educational activities as well as individual areas of experiencing and learning both the school and the law. As a consequence, the law is able to and should support the process of leading students towards the value-based life. All the subjects and institutions of education as well as authorities decisive in terms of education should put and effort in searching for a knowledge on a good law and make establishment of such law a basic concern and task. Good law can lead to a value-based life or constitute a measure of the protection of values that are promoted and implemented within the educational system. Depriving school of humanity is also reflected in the legal sphere – a chaos that occurs in the educational reality under the influence of continuous amendments to the education law. This paper is aimed at considering the state and structure of the current law on the protection of values in education.
Celem tekstu jest ukazanie kształcenia na odległość, które zostało wprowadzone w Polsce w czasie epidemii COVID-19, w kontekście prawa dziecka. Główne wątki są skoncentrowane wokół przejawów wykluczania uczniów i uczennic oraz nierealizowania ich praw. Nie chodzi tylko o prawo do nauki tych dzieci, które nie mają warunków do realizowania obowiązku szkolnego online, ale też o niedostateczne pełnienie przez szkołę funkcji opiekuńczej i wychowawczej oraz pogłę- bianie w konsekwencji nierówności między osobami o niższym i wyższym kapitale rodzinnym. Podstawą tekstu jest manifest autorek upowszechniony w kwietniu 2020 roku na stronach Komitetu Ochrony Praw Dziecka i Fundacji Ja Nauczyciel’ka. Badania oparto na metodzie analizy treści literatury przedmiotu oraz analizy prawnonormatywnej obowiązujących aktów prawa dotyczących kształcenia na odległość. W pierwszej części ukazana jest szkoła jako instytucja inkluzji normatywnej w perspektywie historycznej oraz współczesnej. W drugiej naświetlono obszary wykluczenia w kontekście wprowadzanych zmian związanych z pandemią.

The aim of this article is to analyze distance learning, which was introduced in Poland during the COVID-19 outbreak, in the context of children’s rights. The main issues discussed herein are connected with incidents of excluding students and failing to respect their rights. The right to education of those children who do not have the conditions to fulfill their obligation of compulsory online schooling is not our only concern. This article also touches on the issue of school’s insufficient guardianship and protective function and, in consequence, the aggravation of inequalities between people with lower and higher family income. The analysis is based on the authors’ appeal that was disseminated in April 2020 by Komitet Ochrony Praw Dzieci [Committee for the Protection of Children’s Rights] and the Ja Teacher’ka [I Teacher] foundation. The study was based on a perusal of the literature on the subject and a legal and normative scrutiny of the binding legal acts on distance learning. The first section presents the school as an institution of normative inclusion in the historical and contemporary perspectives. In the second part, we shed light on areas of exclusion in the context of the changes introduced in connection with the pandemic.
The aim of the article is to present the situation of children in Poland in the light of the analysis of documents of public institutions and non-governmental organizations whose domain of activity is the protection of children’s rights. The context of the analyzes undertaken by the authors is an interdisciplinary current of childhood studies, and in particular the discourses devoted to caring for a child. Nowadays, the most visible discourse of child’s well-being requires observing particular areas of children’s participation in social life and asking questions about the actual situation of the child in our country, development opportunities and difficulties in implementing children’s rights and ensuring its well-being. This means attempting to describe a child’s stained glass window „being in life”, actual or only apparent participation in particular areas of child’s activity in recent years.
This article is an attempt to specify the meanings of a child’s category, childhood and the best interest of the child made on the basis of analysis and interpretation of pedagogical thought of Janusz Korczak and literature analysis. The interpretations and references to Korczak’s thoughts have been there included. The research project were based on document content analysis. Korczak – the figure undoubtedly the foreground in Polish pedagogy and the world doctrine of children’s rights. It is his pedagogical practice and contemporary reception of his thoughts, made by educators and lawyers, that will become the basis for seeking the meanings of categories on which the modern doctrine of children’s rights and the system of their protection are built. As a result: the principle of the best interest of the child as a determinant of the pedagogical practice of Janusz Korczak has been normalized in the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other acts of Polish and international law. This category is interpreted dynamically in the context of changes in the discourses of a child and childhood functioning in social and political life, especially in the area of education and upbringing of the young generation. As a pedagogical category, it is visible in the reflection of many pedagogues as a central category, most often identified with the goal of all adult activities for the child.
The article presents an innovative programme for the re-adaptation of inmates confined in correctional facilities which focusses on building and consolidating their bonds with their children. In Poland, contemporary social rehabilitation programmes are based on measures listed in the Polish Executive Penal Code of 1998 (Executive Penal Code, 1997, Art. 67 § 3). Apart from studying, working, cultural and educational activities, and therapeutic interventions, the Code also mentions contact with family members and relatives. These rehabilitation programmes include the right of convicts, under international and national law, to maintain contact with their families, while methodologically they are compliant with the most current cognitive-behavioural approach to therapy and corrective measures. They also draw on the multi-systemic approach, in a general sense. In the context of safeguarding children’s rights, contact between parents and children is the responsibility of the parents, but in the case of prisoners it is the responsibility of the correctional institution to ensure that prisoners can exercise their rights while serving a custodial sentence. The article takes advantage of the methodologies of document analysis and participant observation. It discusses the programme for the social re-adaptation of prisoners, which involves encouraging and consolidating relationships between parents and children while maintaining a focus on particular rehabilitation objectives, resocialisation methods, and outcome evaluation.

Celem artykułu jest prezentacja innowacyjnego programu readaptacji skazanych w zakładzie karnym nakierowanego na budowanie i wzmacnianie więzi z dziećmi. Program „Teatr, Mama, Tata i Ja” realizowany jest od 2015 r. do chwili obecnej przez zespół Teatru Lalki i Aktora „Kubuś” i pracowników Aresztu Śledczego w Kielcach dla osób odbywających karę pozbawienia wolności. Współczesne programy resocjalizacji wykorzystują podstawowe środki resocjalizacji wymienione w polskim Kodeksie karnym wykonawczym z 1998 r. Obok nauki, pracy, zajęć kulturalno-oświatowych i sportowych oraz oddziaływań terapeutycznych regulacje prawne wskazują na kontakty z rodziną i osobami bliskimi. Programy te uwzględniają prawo skazanych do utrzymywania kontaktów z rodziną na mocy prawa międzynarodowego i krajowego, a w zakresie metodycznym są adekwatne do najbardziej aktualnego podejścia kognitywno-behawioralnego w terapii (cognitive-behavioural therapy) i działaniach korekcyjnych. Realizacja kontaktów dzieci z rodzicami jest obowiązkiem rodziców w kontekście zabezpieczenia praw dziecka, a po stronie instytucji korekcyjnej leży obowiązek zapewnienia skazanym realizacji ich praw w czasie odbywania kary pozbawienia wolności. Artykuł ma charakter empiryczny, wykorzystuje bowiem metody analizy dokumentów oraz obserwacji uczestniczącej.
The article is based on a method of analyzing documentation on a prisoner social rehabilitation programme, which is focused on repairing broken bonds and consolidating relationships between parents and children. The programme’s objectives are discussed here, along with its methodology and evaluation process.The research material comprises various documents developed as part of the planning, implementation and evaluation of the programme, including workshop plans and evaluation and observation sheets generated in 2016–2018. The innovative prisoner social rehabilitation programme is discussed in detail in this article on the basis of the building and consolidation of parental bonds. Most social rehabilitation programmes of this type are informed by the social rehabilitation methods listed in Art. 67 § 3 of the Penal Code (1997), in which maintaining contact with family and the outside world is listed next to learning, work, cultural and educational activities, sport and therapy. The “Theatre, Mummy, Daddy and Me” programme is based on contemporary cognitive and behavioural approaches in psychology and therapy, and addition also draws on a multi-systemic approach to environmental therapy.In the context of the need to secure children’s rights and protect prisoners’ rights, it is the obligation of penitentiary institutions to secure contact between the incarcerated parents and their children.
