Olubiński, Andrzej2017-01-052017-01-051987Ruch Prawniczy, Ekonomiczny i Socjologiczny 49, 1987, z. 3, s. 337-3570035-9629http://hdl.handle.net/10593/17228The article contains the considerations on the interpersonal conflict between an educator and a pupil as a basic element of the process of education. The reflection are based on the assumption that education is a „sui generis" type of a conflict of interests. The said process consists in the educator's persistent interference in the pupil's personality, in its constant disintegration resulting from the educator's confronting the pupil with the tasks and problems to be solved and then in its gradual integration through the fact that the pupil has solved the problems or performed the tasks. In order to investigate the above process, the author distinguishes several concepts forming a general scheme of the analysis. Among basic concepts the author includes: 1) the intensity of a conflict (5 stages have been distinguished); 2) the awareness of a conflict; 3) symmetrical and asymetrical character of interpersonal conflict relations; 4) general and more detailed forms of struggle, including criteria 1) and 3); 5) the functions of conflicts; 6) the elimination and termination of a conflict. The article contains the considerations on: a) a conflict as a basic factor of the development of personality; b) main stages of conflict, together with the analyses of forms of struggle and the means of eliminating conflicts, as models of educational situations; c) two main ways in which the conflicts appear, as dichotomic models of educational actions; d) three types of education, as the functions of different educational attitudes adopted in a situation of conflict.polinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArtykuł
