In the article were discussed concepts of preschool teachers’ perception of changes that occurred in three categories, such as:•Functioning and organization of preschool as an institution,•Children behavior and playing activities of preschool children,•Preschool children relations among themselves and relations between educators and parents.What is more, researcher was interested in analysis of the activities that preschool educators chose to engage in and in the structure of education that preschool teachers were creating while teaching and caring for children during that specific, uncertain and not stable times. The researcher assumption was that preschool teachers were not only passive takers but also active creators of changes in preschool education what would be displayed in their views, opinions, attitudes, and assessments gathered in that specific times of pandemic and that they would respectively adapt to new and changing reality. Research material was gathered by filling the questionnaires by preschool teachers and then subsequently analysis the data. Moreover, this procedure allows teachers and educators to share their views about challenges they needed to fulfill, such as providing online preschool education. Knowledge:Preschool educators displayed reflexive, concerned and thoughtful approach toward the challenges of analysis the functioning of preschools as institutions during that difficult pandemic reality they were participating in. They noticed changes occurring in such fields as: organization of institutions; activities toward health protection of children and preschool employers; social relations; ways of teachers, children and parents work; professional development; work overload; and the sense of uncertainly of future.Teachers indicated the fields, in which they were able to constructively work out the solutions and actively adjust to new pandemic limitations regarding law, work policies, social challenges and challenges regarding health, methodic adjustments and learning new computer software.","PeriodicalId":488846,"journal":{"name":"Studia z Teorii Wychowania","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138596887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Then, in reference to the category of „meeting” of the teacher and the student, the issue of vocational fit was presented, which was shown from the point of view of the psychological (personalistic) approach in pedeutology, taking into account the specific catalog of duties of the older of the participants of this dyad in relation to the younger of them – it was emphasized that only a teacher optimally suited to the profession will be able to create such conditions for his students, that will enable them to achieve self-knowledge and form a cultural personality in terms of hermeneutic (humanistic) pedagogy. In the next part of the article, the vocational fit of teachers was shown in reference to John L. Holland’s Theory of Career Choice (the Theory of Vocational Personality) and the Five Factor Theory of Personality of Paul T. Costa and Robert R.

This resulted in development of an alternative way of thinking about education, creating mixed grade classrooms whose work is based on the Montessori approach as well as initiating a new trend in the educational and research activities in the Institute of Pedagogy, Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin. But first of all educational activities proved to be essential for the children`s developmental achievements and popularization of the ideas of Montessori pedagogy in Poland.

The discipline necessarily needs to consider the comparative nature of ideas, paradigms, theories, concepts or philosophies of education, to refine its diagnostic tools with respect to differences in the aforementioned contexts, and to refine theory maps and methods of comparative research thus minimising errors in comparison of what is, nonetheless, incomparable.","PeriodicalId":488846,"journal":{"name":"Studia z Teorii Wychowania","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135549136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
