The history of Institute of Pedagogy is an integral part of the history of the University of Szczecin, established in 1985 – but it starts much earlier, i.e. in 1958, when the Adam Mickiewicz University Consultation Centre in Poznan was opened in Szczecin. It became the basis for the establishment of the Higher Teacher Education School – the first humanities university in Szczecin.
In addition to the training of pre-school and early childhood education teachers, special and re-socialisation pedagogues, social workers and cultural animators, the staff of the Institute of Pedagogy carry out multi-faceted research, enriching the teaching heritage.
