Aims and Scope

The journal entitled "Polish Studies. Innovation" (Pol. "Polonistyka.Innowacje") touches upon the discourse and drawbacks of school and academic didactics and moreover gives room for an exchange of opinons. The jpurnal is published in Poznań. Moreover, it is prepared by researchers from two universities - the Jagiellonian University based in Krakow and the University of Adam Mickiewicz based in Poznań. The journal is open to discussions about teaching practices and the cooperation with other academic centres and schools at all levels. It addresses issues rooted in cultural reality and Polish language education. Due to the meticulessness of didactics as an applied science, the close connection of educational empiricism and its reflexive generalisation is highlighted in the journal.

History

The "Polish Studies. Innovation" journal (Pol. "Polonistyka. Innowacje") has been published in electronic form since 2015. The scientific board and the editorial board are comprised of members who co-founded the "Polish Studies" journal (Pol. "Polonistyka") which was distributed in paper form for a period of 22 years (between 1992 and 2014). In this context, it is important to note that the journal continues its editorial line developed and devised over the past decades as a
mutual cooperation between the two boards. The editors disagree with having the role of didactics simplified to the role of methodological guidance, and consider the integration of the school and academic community and the inspiration for creative and modern thinking about education to be of crucial importance.
