Image of human being refl ected in the education objectives preferred by parents

Taking as a starting point for analysis the personalistic defi nition of education as a process aimed at helping the child to realize his/her humanity, the article focuses on the senses and meanings associated with the postulated vision of human being, which are refl ected in the teleological aspects of family education. The presented considerations are based on the results of a survey conducted at the beginning of 2019, in which 212 parents residing in the Łódź and Mazowieckie provinces took part. The presented refl ections show that aiming to realize humanity is an important area of family education. Image of human being refl ected in the preferred education objectives is characterized by partial heterogeneity and fragmentation. The specifi city of the characteristics of the analysed issue constructed in the article justifi es the importance of the school undertaking pedagogizing activities towards the family as an educational environment and compensatory towards the child.
