The paper addresses the issue of mindfulness in children of younger school age, with particular attention to the category of mindful eating. It includes theoretical deliberations – defining and understanding key concepts, effectiveness of practicing mindfulness in the light of a review of the research results obtained so far, it also considers the validity of including elements of mindfulness in educational practice and outlines empirical research conducted in the action research paradigm. By adopting the procedure of collecting data from various sources and associating them in their entirety (so-called network thinking), using various research methods and techniques (e.g. observation, self-observation, analysis of products, documentation, free conversation), an attempt was made to achieve the research objective, which was to assess the effects of innovative action introduced into the education system, based on the implementation of mindfulness training elements. The author of this paper was both a researcher cooperating with the teachers implementing the project and a teacher-innovator. The analysis of collected research material indicates the aspects that may constitute a basis for wider discussion and identify issues for further research as well as for improvement of the mindfulness development in educational practice. In conclusion, the question was raised whether the mindfulness practice has a chance for systemic or less formal inclusion in the Polish educational system.

Artykuł przybliża problematykę rozwijania uważności (mindfulness) u dzieci w młodszym wieku szkolnym, ze szczególnym zwróceniem uwagi na kategorię uważnego jedzenia (mindful eating). Ujęto rozważania teoretyczne – definiowanie i rozumienie pojęć kluczowych, skuteczność praktykowania uważności w świetle przeglądu dotychczasowych wyników badań, podjęto namysł wokół zasadności włączania elementów mindfulness do praktyki edukacyjnej oraz zarysowano badania empiryczne podjęte w paradygmacie badawczym action research. Przyjmując procedurę gromadzenia danych z różnych źródeł i kojarzenia ich w całości (tzw. myślenie sieciowe), stosując różne metody i techniki badawcze (m.in. obserwacja, samoobserwacja, analiza wytworów, dokumentacji, swobodne rozmowy), podjęto próbę osiągnięcia celu badań, jakim było dokonanie oceny efektów wprowadzonego do systemu edukacji innowacyjnego działania, opartego na wdrażaniu elementów treningu uważności. Autorka przedkładanego artykułu występowała w roli zarówno badacza współpracującego z nauczycielami, realizującymi projekt, jak i nauczyciela-innowatora. Analiza zebranego materiału badawczego wskazuje na aspekty, mogące stanowić podstawę do podjęcia szerszej dyskusji i wyłonienia wątków do dalszych badań oraz doskonalenia rozwijania uważności w praktyce edukacyjnej. W konkluzji próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy praktyka mindfulness ma szansę na systemowe lub mniej sformalizowane włączenie do polskiego systemu oświaty.

The paper addresses theoretical considerations focusing on the career choice motives of early childhood education teachers in the light of a review of previous research, and it presents the research problem along with an analysis of results. The aim of this study was to determine the motives for choosing the profession of early childhood education teacher by students of early childhood pedagogy, graduating with a bachelor’s degree, and early childhood education teachers working in the profession for no more than five years. A diagnostic survey method was used, with a questionnaire technique. The results indicate that the choice of early childhood education teachers is a product of internal and external motives, with the former having a dominant role. Meeting psychological needs (including the desire to work with children, personality predispositions) is combined with pragmatic qualities – e.g. days off, low weekly working hours. Both groups surveyed recognize the problem of low professional prestige and the financial unprofitability of the teaching profession. The motivations for studying early childhood pedagogy are personal predispositions, interests and directional talents. The sense of rightness regarding the choice of a professional path increases with the acquisition of practice, which corresponds to the sense of preparation for the profession. The current system of pedagogical internships does not provide sufficient practical preparation for a job as an early childhood education teacher.
