The aim of the article is to analyse the meaning and use of the term “kształcenie” in the concepts of systematic pedagogy in 20th-century Poland. The study involved M. Foucault’s archaeological method and systematic problem-historical analysis. As a result, it was found that in the indicated period a change in the disciplinary assignment of the term “kształcenie” from systematic pedagogy to didactics occurred, which was accompanied by a shift in meaning towards the instrumentally perceived modelling of personality through school teaching. Identification and revision of this fact opens the possibility to reintroduce the term and concept of “kształcenie” to systematic Polish pedagogy as one of its two basic categories, next to “wychowanie” (upbringing).
