Abstract

[This chapter focuses on the meaning and the implications of the core of Korczak’s educational ethos, on its higher aims, and on its methods, which are implicit in the term “ameliorative compassion” or “critical friendship.” This term symbolizes an educational ethos based on two simultaneous, interconnected educational processes: the formation of friendship – which offers true respect to the child, that is to say, the child must be accepted as she is as a growing and developing person; and the expression of criticism, identifying the problematic points in the child’s conduct, and, after identifying them, encouraging the child to accept tasks of self-improvement—intellectually, ethically, and behaviorally—and, finally, providing her with tools for achieving it.]
