Department of Child Education Faculty of Educational Studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań is pleased to invite you to participate in the International Research Conference on CHALLENGES IN A CHILD S EDUCATIONAL SPACE taking place on 18 January 2017 under the auspices of prof. zw. dr hab. Agnieszka Cybal - Michalska Dean of the Faculty of Educational Studies at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań
Childhood a time of intensive development and opening up to the surrounding reality should be first of all about the joy of exploring the physical and social world, gaining considerable knowledge about the world, and also about satisfaction from children s own cognitive and social activity, and thus their achievements. It is a time when children s activity is being transformed from prevailingly spontaneous behaviors into a system of actions controlled by regular tasks, duties and social standards required at school. For children, school is an enormous challenge testing their ability to meet the requirements presented by the world of adults and peers. Unfortunately, not all children can satisfactorily face this challenge. More often than not, children are exposed to various difficulties at school, and their educational space is filled with the resulting stress. Failure to perform well at school, being a measure of the discrepancy between teaching and educational requirements on the one hand and the expected results on the other, can be analyzed in an interdisciplinary way, in various contexts, including the context of: types, symptoms, causes, prevention and overcoming such failure. Please feel invited to participate in an interdisciplinary discussion on the challenges present in today children s educational space. We would like to see them not only in the context of school, but also in the context of social, peer and kindergarten background which play an invaluable role in developing children s readiness for school.
Our intention is to make the conference a platform for exchanging experiences of child education theorists and practitioners.
