Changing society causes growing uncertainty about the directions of education. It becomes increasingly difficult to answer the question: what shall we teach? Despite the growing uncertainty, the number of people undertaking studies at university is still on the increase. Humanities and social sciences are continuously of a great interest to young people. They very often decide to study education, however, they do not always realize the essence of this discipline. The objective of this paper is to search the answer to the question: what – in students’ opinion – is hidden behind the name „education”? Whether the students’ knowledge is of a scientific character or it is rather common knowledge?

Zmieniające się społeczeństwo powoduje narastającą niepewność co do kierunków kształcenia. Coraz trudniej odnaleźć odpowiedź na pytanie: ku czemu mamy kształcić? Pomimo narastającej niepewności nieustannie odnotowujemy wzrost liczby osób podejmujących studia. Nadal dużym zainteresowaniem cieszą się nauki humanistyczne i społeczne. Młodzi ludzie chętnie decydują się na studiowanie pedagogiki, chociaż nie zawsze mają wyobrażenie czym się ta dyscyplina nauki zajmuje. Celem tekstu jest poszukanie odpowiedzi na pytanie: co – zdaniem studentów – kryje się pod hasłem „pedagogika”? Czy wiedza, którą posiadają ma charakter naukowy czy też zbliżona jest do wiedzy potocznej?

The article discusses the situation of the descendants of the Germans from Lodz, their lifestyle and attitude to their own heritage and roots. It also shows how the Lodz authorities commemorate the multi-ethnic past of the city, and what is the contemporary Lodzians’ level of knowledge of the German community living in the city nowadays. The materials and data used in the article were collected in 2009–2010 in the course of the research sponsored by the Town Council of Lodz. In its first part, the article focuses on the town’s memory policy and the inter-cultural relations, which have taken place there over the years between Germans and other communities, as seen from the perspective of local Germans. The second part of the article analyses how the local German community is perceived by the Polish inhabitants of Lodz, and to what extent their image is influenced by stereotypical concepts of the Germans in general. It seems that Lodz inhabitants’ knowledge on the post-war situation of German minority in their city is very poor. It appeared that the majority of interlocutors did not express their opinions on local Germans, but on the Germans in general. Direct questions about Lodz Germans caused associations mainly connected with the times of “The Promised Land’’ – the period in history when German settlers created and stood for the “Industrial Empire’’ in Lodz. Sadly, the Lodzians’ awareness of the contemporary German minority living in Lodz was marginal. What is interesting though, both examined age groups: the older one (Lodzians born between 1945 and 1960) and the youngest one (those born in 1989–1990) responded similarly. The lack of knowledge of the younger people who indicated school as their source of information, alarmed the authors and pointed their attention to the relation between this fact and the existing educational system. To conclude this part of research, it can be stated that the school education in the town taking pride in its long-term multi-cultural tradition is on very low level. It is definitely insufficient in terms of teaching the young generation both the history and present life of all the ethnic minorities, in particular German one, living side by side with them.
