Eksperymentalne uczenie wychowania

In the teaching of future and present educators, an ability to experiment plays a significant though little appreciated role. Even Immanuel Kant already drew attention to an experimental character of modern education. Contemporary educators, like never before, have to be taught how to educate via experiments. The text consists of three parts. In the first one, the author focuses on a relation between pedagogy and experiments. In the second one, Johann Herbart’s views on practical training of education teachers are reconstructed. Simultaneously, there are some references to his experience from the period he was a director of The Didactic Institute and The Pedagogical Seminary in Königsberg. Finally, in the third part, there are put questions for people responsible for an academic education of future pedagogues. The programme of innovative pedagogical education, suggested by Teresa Hejnicka-Bezwińska, is mentioned as well.
