Rozwój (nie tylko) początkujących historyków a metodologia historii

The text is part of a discussion on the role of methodology of history in educating young historians. The comments presented are formulated from the perspective of a researcher educated on the outskirts of the discipline of history. Nonetheless, the methodology of history can play an important role in developing deeper research self‑awareness. However, this requires systemic solutions enabling seminar formation. The importance of this type of formation can be seen by following the experience of other young historians whose voices are mentioned in the text. Even if a number of different attitudes emerge from this (from a more or less conscious positioning in the mainstream of classical historiography to a conscious choice of the path of a non‑classical historian), it is clear that there is a need to develop not only skills, but also broad competences (from knowledge of the achievements of other disciplines, through various schools in historiography up to deep methodological self‑awareness) exists and is a starting point for discussions and activities that may in the future reduce the gap between methodologists and practicing historians indicated in the methodological community.
