Z problemów odbioru klasyki w gimnazjum na przykładzie rozważań o ludowości ballad Adama Mickiewicza

Abstract

This article is devoted to the issue of folk character, which is very well known in the Polish school. The author draws attention to teachers’ lack of didactic reflection in their expression of this problem, which leads to disruption in its reception. Folk character is a marginal phenomenon in the contemporary culture, and pupils cannot set the topic against their own practical experience. This article presents a way of understanding of the folk character of Mickiewicz’s ballads by students of Polish studies, and indicates reasons for incorrect or restricted understanding of this problem. A proposal of a lesson is presented, which offers a possibility of its understanding by students.
