The answer to the question whether teaching of geography nowadays respects the universal ideas of the great geographer, is not clear. A critical look at teaching achievements of Wacław Nałkowski, as well as at the contemporary state of geographical teaching, seems to be difficult due to the individual views and personal experiences. This paper is an attempt to assess the extent to which the important educational concepts of Nałkowski are respected in contemporary educational practice. The author particularly emphasizes the idea of geography as a synoptic field, which was to integrate the arts and the sciences, the „rationality” principle in geography, the views of Nałkowski concerning the use of maps, and the role and shape of geographical handbooks. In conclusion it was ascertained that the guiding principles of teaching geography, which were developed by Nałkowski and introduced by him to educational practice, today are mainly plain postulates. Although these principles did not lost their validity, what is confirmed by numerous authors, educational practice, form and content of geographical textbooks still deviate from Nałkowski’s recommendations. Also in geographical education at academic level many educational ideas of Nałkowski are not implemented.

The purpose of this article is to analyze and clarify the circumstances which led to the current condition and degradation of the watercourses and rivers of Łódź. These rivers were the decisive factor in initiating and stimulating the industrial development of the city. A detailed analysis examined changes in the management of river waters in the vicinity of the socalled water-front factory settlements (referred to locally as “posiadła”) in the River Jasień valley. This was the location of one of the first industrial settlements within the city of Łódź and took place shortly after the city was included by the Polish Kingdom authorities (in 1821) in the group of so-called factory cities intended for the development of the textile industry - initially with emphasis on the cloth and linen making industry, with further transformation into the cotton industry. The article presents the forms and methods of use of the River Jasień in the period from the beginning of the 19th century up to the present. The specification assumed therefore the period of agricultural usage in the form of water mills, through textile manufacture, industrial production and the period after the fall of the textile industry. The River Jasień is an outstanding example of the way, in which people have “treated” the river during the successive stages of technological development of textile production. How close to the river they settled at the early stages of industrial development, slowly “moving away” from the river, leading to its gradual degradation, and abandoning it, restraining it to a covered channel, to ultimately forgetting it ever existed. The changes in these man - river relationships, as described in this document, can lead to conclusions for the future direction for the current spatial policy of the city. Also about these riverside post-industrial areas, with regard to the need to restore their original values and the need to protect and conserve their unique natural character and cultural heritage.

In recent years, educational activities have been undertaken, the effect of which is a change in philosophy and ways of geographic education, related to the development of a knowledge-based economy and digital technologies. The article discusses the general assumptions and directions of changes in the new geography program basis, with particular emphasis on the role of geoinformation technologies and GIS. Also, the relevant provisions have been presented, emphasizing the need to introduce them in the implementation of specific substantive issues from both physical and socio-economic geography. Since the introduction of GIS to such a large extent is a new situation and a big challenge for teachers, attention was also paid to the possible difficulties and limitations in the implementation of the core curriculum. Being aware of this, it is also important to take specific solutions and proposals in the field of teacher education in relation to program changes.

W ostatnich latach są podejmowane działania edukacyjne, których efektem jest m.in. zmiana filozofii i sposobów kształcenia geograficznego, związana z rozwojem gospodarki opartej na wiedzy oraz technologii cyfrowych. W artykule omówiono ogólne założenia i kierunki zmian w nowych podstawach programowych geografii dla szkoły podstawowej i ponadpodstawowej, ze szczególnym podkreśleniem potrzeby i znaczenia uwzględnienia wymagań z zakresu technologii geoinformacyjnych i Systemów Informacji Geograficznej (GIS; ang. Geographic Information Systems). Jednocześnie wyjaśniono znaczenie powyższych terminów, ponieważ właściwe rozumienie jest kluczowe dla poprawnego posługiwania się nimi. Zaprezentowano także odpowiednie zapisy zawarte w podstawach programowych. Ponieważ wprowadzenie GIS do edukacji szkolnej w takim wymiarze stanowi nową sytuację i duże wyzwanie dla nauczycieli, zwrócono także uwagę na możliwe trudności i ograniczenia w realizacji założeń podstawy programowej, podkreślając jednocześnie jak ważne jest także podjęcie konkretnych rozwiązań i propozycji w zakresie dokształcania nauczycieli w związku z zaprezentowanymi zmianami programowymi.
