Contribution
The purpose of this paper is to present data from empirical research which allows to claim argument that practiced in school concept of education can foster students' intellectual activity and its products in terms of eliminating its moral judgment.
The study focuses on the problem of pragmatisation of pupils’ intellectual property, authorship acknowledgement and different types of educational fraud as a consequence of narrow academic learning without caring for pupils’ individual and autonomous development [Freire 2001; Kohlberg, Mayer 1993, Niemczynski 1980, 2007]. This problem is a part of broader scholar discussion about role of ethical values in education and society. The pragmatisation means here that any ethical values are deprived of its nature and taken just as a matter of practical action to achieve different values i.e. social, economic etc. [Bauman 2000].
The analysis of scientific literature indicates plenty interpretations of education where is always understand as a some kind of value worth of living [Dorczak 2012; Freire 2001; Kohlberg 1981; Kołodziejczyk 2004, Łuczyński 2011, Niemczyński 1996; Piaget 1977]. For the purpose of the study emerging two interpretations of education as a value in school practice: (1) as an autonomous value; and (2) as a heteronomous value. In the first one the goal of education is to create intellectual and moral autonomous people who have a clear sense of the principles of justice and compassion towards others. In the second interpretation the goal of education is defined to help students to learn the life ideals of state or other external organizations (which means centuries of practice whereby a group of individuals is trying to impose these ideals upon another group) [Niemczyński 1996]. This theoretical framework lead to first hypothesis which assumes that education as a value in school practice can be understand in the autonomous or heteronomous way.
The analysis of the literature allows also to clarify two interpretation of intellectual property in school society: (1) as an ethical value; and (2) as a pragmatic value [Dudek 2009] The ethical understanding means that people thinking about intellectual activity in internal ways. The goal of the intellectual activity of student is to develop as an author and as a person – responsible for the final products of his authorship. The pragmatic understanding of intellectual property means that people treat authorship as a way to provide some external goals (i.e. raise the social status). Pragmatic understanding of intellectual activity and its products grows out of ethical understanding, however in the context of social transition it dominates them. This theoretical framework lead to second hypothesis which states that intellectual property can be understand as an ethical or pragmatic value.
The third hypothesis was also develop in order to investigate relation between the first two hypotheses. This hypothesis says that people who represent a heteronomous thinking about education as a value have a pragmatic attitude to intellectual activity. On the other hand people who represent an autonomous thinking about education as a value have an ethical attitude to intellectual property.
