ABSTRACT

Attitudes towards education vary between regions and countries. These differences cannot be fully explained by socio-economic inequalities or direct inputs such as teachers or class size. The persistence of historical institutions is also an important issue. In this paper, regional differences in attitudes towards education are investigated in reference to events that took place in 19^th century Polish territories when Poland was partitioned by Prussia, Russia, and Habsburg Austria and their educational systems were imposed. The results of the quantitative and qualitative research suggest that historical processes have created different attitudes towards education. In some regions, education is seen as a key for gaining general knowledge, yet in other parts of the country, it is seen as a tool for improving practical and technical skills.

摘要

不同地区和国家对教育的态度各不相同。这些差异不能完全用社会经济不平等或教师或班级规模等直接投入来解释。历史制度的持久性也是一个重要问题。在本文中，参考 19 世纪发生的事件调查了对教育态度的区域差异^。世纪的波兰领土，当时波兰被普鲁士、俄罗斯和哈布斯堡王朝奥地利瓜分，他们的教育制度被强加。定量和定性研究的结果表明，历史进程造就了不​​同的教育态度。在一些地区，教育被视为获得常识的关键，而在该国其他地区，教育被视为提高实践和技术技能的工具。
