“Evaluation of Humanistic Competencies Developed in the Pedagogical Majors in a Comparative Perspective”: Project Overview

This overview presents actions taken in the first year of a three-year collaborative international project implemented by research teams from the Faculty of Education of the Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw (the FE UKSW) and the Faculty of Education of Catholic University in Milan (the FE UCSC). The basis of the cooperation was a bilateral agreement signed by the two universities. The project plan was developed by the Polish side. It received an annual funding from grants for maintaining the potential from the pool of scientific cooperation with foreign countries (UmoPBNP-17/18). The Italian team included Giuseppe Mari (team leader), Marisa Musaio and Simonetta Polenghi. The Polish team consisted of Maria M. Boużyk (team leader), Stanisław Chrobak, Jan Piskurewicz, Witold Starnawski, and Dariusz Stępkowski. The implementation of the project was suspended due to the sudden death of the leader of the Italian team and changes in the financing of scientific research in Poland (Act 2.0). Nevertheless, it is worth documenting the activities carried out and the results achieved.
