The subject of the article covers issues related to the presence of neoliberal educational messages in school practice. The study contains an analysis of the teacher’s narrative, the purpose of which was to identify and describe elements that fit into neoliberal assumptions of education. The reconstruction of everyday school life (micro level) enabled the manifestations of instrumentalisation of education, rivalry and competitive aspects in the teacher’s work and the practice of forming homo oeconomicus at school. Commodification of an individual in free market conditions is reflected in a profit-maximizing school, i.e., achieving high results in external examinations owing to an educational process organized effectively, and minimizing costs by, for example, selecting students and by eliminating the “maladjusted” from schools. In the text, I outline a portrait of a teacher functioning professionally, who builds his profession on the foundation of neoliberal assumptions about education. I analyze the teacher’s understanding of school education, which is present in the teacher’s narratives, as a space for a specific market game and competition, defining the effectiveness of school work by high level of students’ examination results and the original concept of working with a supervised class reduced to the implementation of a business project.

The article describes the opportunities and risks of Master – Student relation in the academic, online learning setting. The article begins with the analysis of Master – Student relation by presenting issues regarding the traditionally interpreted person of the master as well as by presenting the obstacles and expectations faced by students. Further on, advantages and disadvantages of computermediated communication (CMC) of the relation are discussed. Based on the research in CMC which, includes the hyper-personal model and the Media Naturalness Theory, the ambivalence of building an authentic, based on the ethical foundations, and a long-lasting interpersonal relationship, is shown. Finally, key risk areas are discussed, in particular reductionist online learning models implemented by the neoliberal agenda in university education, and doubts about the effectiveness of value-oriented education in a virtual environment.

According to educational theoreticians, what is introduced into education are some elements of sectionally constructed market economy. This aims at raising educational effectiveness with the application of procedures typical of the business sector. As a result of such undertakings, what appears in schools is the excessive focus on the implementation of top-down imposed guidelines and on the constantly changing legal regulations. Yielding to outer pressure and influence, many teachers apply the administrative direction in their work, which consists in paying a lot of attention to the absolute fulfilling of what is imposed and subjected to unceasing control. One of the meticulously fulfilled requirements is the care for learners’ high scores in external tests. This proves how important the standardization in the measurement of teaching and learning achievements (with simultaneous marginalization of such significant and undoubtedly demanded educational components as individualization, subjectivization, etc.) has become in teachers’ professional practice. A small section of the author’s extended analyses is presented in this study in the form of free interviews with teachers who describe what they experience in their daily professional routine.

W opinii teoretyków edukacji na jej teren wprowadzane są elementy partykularnie konstruowanej gospodarki rynkowej. Dąży się do podnoszenia efektywności kształcenia przy wykorzystaniu zabiegów charakterystycznych dla sfery biznesu. W wyniku tego pojawia się w szkole nadmierna koncentracja na realizacji odgórnie narzuconych dyrektyw i ciągle zmieniających się przepisów. Wielu nauczycieli, ulegając wpływom i naciskom zewnętrznym, obiera administracyjne ukierunkowanie swej pracy, co objawia się przywiązywaniem dużej wagi do bezwzględnego realizowania tego, co nakazane i podlegające ciągłej kontroli. Jednym ze skrupulatnie realizowanych wymogów jest dbałość o to, by uczniowie osiągali wysokie wyniki w testach zewnętrznych. Przekonuje to, jak ważna stała się dla ich praktyki zawodowej standaryzacja pomiaru osiągnięć nauczania i uczenia się uczniów, przy równoczesnej marginalizacji istotnych i bezspornie pożądanych komponentów edukacyjnych, takich jak indywidualizacja, podmiotowość itd. Tekst prezentuje niewielki obszar prowadzonych przeze mnie analiz wywiadów swobodnych z nauczycielami opisującymi to, czego doświadczają w swej codzienności zawodowej.
