Moral functioning of children’s houses

Abstract

The subject of the research concerns the moral sphere. The aim of the research project was to find out the answer to the question: how do charges of care and educational institutions function in the moral sphere? The research procedure is situated in the interpretative paradigmequated with the qualitative approach. The method of individual cases supplemented with the technique of dokument analysis, interview and observation was used to carry out the research. The research tool was the original interview and observation questionnaire as well as the documentation of the charges found at the facility. For the purposes of the research, the hypotheses were abandoned, as the adopted research strategy allows it. 7 individual cases were selected for the study, who were the charges of the selected care and educational institution, as well as their teachers and educators of the schools they attended. It should be pointed out that the moral sphere is usually equated with the social sphere. For the purposes of this research, however, a distinction was made between them using the literature on the subject. The presentedtopics are close to their author not only from the theoretical but also practical side. This is evidenced by the fact of providing several years of work in a care and educational facility.
