Celem niniejszego tekstu uczyniłam refleksję nad procesem nabywania kompetencji kulturowej przez dorosłych użytkowników języka. Uczestnictwo w owym procesie pozwoliło na poznanie studenckich strategii czytania baśni w relacji z obrazem – rozrusznikiem wyobraźni. Rozważania, w oparciu o realizowaną obserwację uczestniczącą i badanie w działaniu – sytuuję w paradygmacie jakościowym. Interpretacje tekstów kultury, formułowane przez kandydatów na nauczycieli są „wypadkową”: 1) wzorców uformowanych za pośrednictwem doświadczanej uprzednio tradycyjnej edukacji oraz 2) uczestnictwa w sytuacji edukacyjnej pobudzającej proces nadawania znaczeń.

The aim of the article is to present meanings associated with fairy tale places by teacher candidates. The research data came from interviews with 57 early childhood pedagogy students, analysed through a qualitative method. The competences of candidates for teachers in perceiving the symbolism of places, wandering, world layout, reveal not only the level of cultural and literary knowledge (because they are a "showcase" of previous school experiences of fairy-tale themed lessons), but also indicate their future strategies for designing children's activity based on fairy tales. These strategies may turn out to be so durable and resistant to change that they might survive university literary education and remain the starting point for students' teaching practice. The research shows that the fairy tale can remain in them as the starting point for fun or a "background" for science, mathematics and language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The human ability to "cope in life" is not, as Daniel Goleman asserted at the end of the 20th century, based only on an individual's cognitive skills. Goleman's assertion decisively changed the way that individuals think about man's "emotional talents," but the reality is that emotional skills are largely congenital, even though current research demonstrates that they can be developed. Indeed, research in the social sciences has been focusing on emotional intelligence, which may be an important determinant of education quality. This article presents the results of research on the state of the emotional intelligence of students who are preparing to become teachers. This research is part of a broader project that seeks to determine the emotional factors that aid the education process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
