Aktywna edukacja w przedszkolu i szkole. Teoria i praktyka, red. Hanna Krauze-Sikorska, Kinga Kuszak
Published in 1972, Faure's Report Learning to Be, which outlines an educational program based on the idea of the "integral person" as an intellectual, emotional, and moral unity, emphasized confidence in the creative potential of each individual, including the effort to create one's own personality, meet needs, and realize possibilities, because only a fully active person can be responsible for their own existence. This goal can be achieved if conditions are created that support human development so that one does not have to worry about changes because they are able to handle them. Such education must occur in an environment that stimulates authentic activity [...].The work we present to readers is divided into three parts – their titles not only indicate the areas of interest of the authors but also systematize the issues – with the foundation being the theoretical underpinnings of the activity of adults and children that allow for the creation of "fields of common interest" in order to effectively search for solutions to the question: "how to learn actively and what strategies to develop in the teaching process to make learning effective and for the child to experience joy and success?" During its creation, we were guided by the idea expressed by Habib Inayat Khan: "A child should never be given a toy that has no purpose, nor should a task be set before them that has no meaning. Nothing done with a child should be purposeless. Otherwise, their life will be purposeless." In the book we present to the reader, we advocate for the realization of this idea of purposeful actions undertaken by the child, for the child, and with the child.
