Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to present Jan Konopnicki’s contribution to the development of pedagogy as a scientific discipline at Krakow’s universities in the 1960s, with particular emphasis on experimental pedagogy, special needs education and comparative education. Jan Konopnicki was an outstanding educator, psychologist and scientist. For many years he was denied promotion and the title of professor. His contribution to the development of experimental pedagogy as well as special needs education and comparative education is unique. Polish pedagogy knows too little about his achievements as a researcher and organizer of education. Thanks to his efforts, for the first time in Poland, extramural studies in special needs education were opened at the Pedagogical University of Krakow. The research used the analysis of documents, archival resources and content analysis of Konopnicki’s original publications and thematic studies.
