Abstract

The problem matter considered here is that of the creative reception of literature, starting from the programme principles. “Education for culture” as a conception written into the Polish language teaching programme is implemented by means of the active attitudes of pupils and teachers. Presenting briefly the conception of “attitude”, writing in a manner similar to that of the leading pedagogues of our century, we range ourselves on the side of the “creative stance” as regards literature (creativity).
In didactic practice, preference is still given to “knowledge of literature”, rather than to the “reception of literature”, bearing in themselves literature awareness. This state would appear to be bound up with the past epoch, internationally programming the perception of the literary works, and also with the audiovisual context of contemporary culture. Old customs and new subordinating conditions are the cause of passive attitudes of both pupils and teachers. The pupil unwillingly reads the literary work, waiting for a ready digested knowledge of literature, the teacher seeks the help of the literature of the subject, regarding this as more useful than his own active presentation of the lesson subjects. In the primary and secondary school, by educating for culture we stimulate the pupil’s development through perception. These objectives should also be served both by didactic literature and by didactic handbooks of every kind. The future of this type of publication depends on the effectiveness of inspiration, and not the instruction and “feeding” of ready-made models. It should serve the “active attitudes” of both the pupil and the teacher and also fulfil the functions of these attitudes — motivational, inspirational, creative, integrational, critical. The weight of technical audiovisual stimulation in contemporary culture causes the necessity of revision of didactic attitudes both as regards teaching of the language and of literature. Rational justification of this necessity represents a change in the position of literature in the contemporary world, signalled by the sociology of culture, anthropology and tutelary psychology.
