The Peadagogica Scientific Circle has been in existence for ten years. Each scientific research that was conducted as part of the Circle's activities concerned specific topics related to education. For example, these were studies of the context of school education, extra-curricular activity in primary schools, as well as the linguistic features of early childhood education. The results of the work done so far include the participation of members of the Circle in scientific conferences, three publications in monographs and awards for scientific activity, including a scholarship from the Minister of Science and Higher Education.
According to the agreed plan, in the academic year 2020/2021, the next edition of the Circle's activities has started in a new composition. Female students of the second year of the five-year full-time master's studies in the field of pre-school and early school education have been invited to active participation. Ms. Natalia Kwiecińska has been elected president of the Circle (nataliakwiecinska1611@gmail.com).
