Prof. dr hab. Janina Wyczesany

Abstract

Professor Janina Wyczesany, brilliant Polish special pedagogue, has been connected to the Pedagogical University in Cracow throughout her whole "scientific life", taking a number of important positions, including the head of the Chair of Special Pedagogy (2004-2008). Her didactic, organisational, and especially scientific activity has had, and still has, influence on the image and shape of the national special pedagogy. Multithreading and multiaspectivity of the research issues undertaken by Her are difficult to be locked within any precise borders, though the first plan is taken over by issues connected with early school mathematics education of students with special educational needs, history, modernity and directions of the development of special pedagogy for people with intellectual disability as well as comparatistic special pedagogy.
