The 'Products' of the Culture of Learning of Students in Primary Schools and Grammar Schools

Abstract

The author of this article shares the results of her research that diagnosed learning abilities among students in primary schools and grammar schools, including their motivation and learning strategies. She shares the results of her attempt to infiltrate the world of personal theories and ideas of teachers referring to them as ways of „learning to learn”. In conclusion, she tries to answer the following question: is the transformation of the Polish school into the culture of co-operative learning (suggested by J.S. Bruner) possible? And if the answer is affirmative, what are the conditions for this to happen? What „road signs” should be followed? What kinds of educational and motivational supports do the students and teachers need?
