Thus, the level of parents’ pedagogical culture, which is also influenced by global civilizational transformations, seems significant. The aim of the paper, which, from the methodological perspective, is a synthetic review of subject literature and its constructive criticism, is to contribute to academic reflection on contemporary parents’ pedagogical culture and its relevance in the course and results of upbringing in the family. The author first analyses the concepts of culture and pedagogical culture in general and then presents the most important issues connected with parents’ pedagogical culture.
