Sažetak
The issue of modernizing physical education in Poland ought to be analysed against the backdrop of the country's social, cultural and economic reality. The level of health and hygiene in Poland is alarmingly low. The country's morbidity rate continues to rise (incidence of coronary disease is particularly frequent), infant mortality rate is high while the average life span is falling. The sanitary conditions in the country are bad, obesity constitutes a serious problem, moreover, alcohol and nicotine addiction is rampant. Under these circumstances, the situation may be improved only through raising health awareness and the promotion of a new lifestyle.
With regard to the physical education theory, considerable emphasis ought to be put on the permanent education of the society intended to prepare its members for an active and creative participation in physical culture throughout their lifetime. Thus, the approach to the issue of modernization of the current physical education system in Poland accounts for a variety of factors. Consequently, modernization ought to encompass a number of task-specific issues which, for the sake of order in this paper, have been divided into 3 complementary categories: 1. axiological-teleological, 2. sociological (related to social environment), 3. praxeological.
The outline highlights the major theses of criticism concerning the traditional model of physical education in Poland and, additionally, it recommends the necessary changes to be introduced.
