Przegląd badań nad przygotowaniem absolwentów polonistyki do zawodu

Abstract

The present paper contains a synthetic survey of the inquiry concerned with the professional equipment of the graduates of Polish studies. The survey covers the period from 1960 up to 1986. It reveals, on the one hand, numerous drawbacks in the professional equipment of the students of Polish, and, on the other hand, the incompleteness, fragmentary nature, and want of perfection in the studies carried out at that time. The low evaluation of the graduates' professional level refers to different aspects of their substantial-and-objective equipment, and – first of all – to the numerous domains of the didactic one. Having estimated the methodological aspect of the investigation the authors demonstrate their often too narrow scope and the lack of elaborate objective methods and instruments for the diagnosis of the students' achievement. Instead of reliable and objective statements treatises of publicistic nature have often appeared in the bibliography. Nevertheless the survey in question presents a general description of the state of the efficiency of the university studies of Polish and points out the directions for the further, more thorough investigation of the problem.
