The new bioethical problems that have emerged in the last few decades can be considered from several perspectives: medical, psychological, sociological, philosophical (ethical) and theological. The article addresses the attitudes towards issues such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF), human cloning, gender reassignment and euthanasia in the social narrative. It asks how young Poles evaluate these new situations according to the criteria ‘acceptable’ – ‘unacceptable’, ‘moral’ –‘immoral‘, ‘decent ‘ – ‘wicked‘. The diagnoses are based on the results of sociological studies and nationwide opinion polls.

The article addresses the issue of the informal teacher culture that functions alongside the formal one in which the teacher is seen as a representative of the dominant culture. It discusses three main types of teacher resistance culture: the ruler, the super(wo)man, and the ignoramus. They show the ways in which teachers function at school that are different from the commonly accepted ones. These cultures have been distinguished on the basis of a literature analysis and author’s own research and do not constitute an exhaustive catalogue. However, being aware of them allows us to enrich pedagogical reflection on the issue of resistance in education.

In this article, I describe how I teach graduate students who are in-service teachers in our master’s literacy program on how to facilitate inquiry-based learning among school children. This type of learning concentrates on students’ curiosity, asking questions, and investigating problems in collaboration. The teacher in such learning is more of a facilitator working towards helping children in becoming more independent learners. In my role as a teacher educator and coach I have used several resources to develop my own practice of teaching inquiry learning since 2015. I describe how I structure my graduate students’ tutoring for inquiry and how I teach the ways of utilizing literacy teaching strategies and routines, such as shared reading and accountable talk, in order to facilitate children’s knowledge building and their increasing independence in collaborative work. I also describe how my research interests that concentrate around investigating innovative inquiry-based learning spaces has informed this teaching.
