ПОНЯТИЕ ЧУДО И ЕГО ИНТЕРПРЕТАЦИЯ (НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ АНКЕТ СТУДЕНТОВ ПОЛЬСКО-БЕЛОРУССКОГО ПОГРАНИЧЬЯ)

Abstract
The article presents the results of a survey conducted to identify the main features of the
concept of ‘miracle’ and to explore its interpretation in the consciousness of young people
belonging to different national and cultural groups. The survey was conducted among
students of Borderland Universities – the University of Bialystok (UwB) and the Yanka Kupala
State University of Grodno. The aim of the research was to determine, by means of
a questionnaire, the common and separate elements in the understanding of the term
‘miracle’ by Polish and Belarusian students. Research methods: descriptive, dictionary definition
analysis, interpretative, component analysis, quantitative calculations. As the study
showed, the meanings of ‘miracle’ are much broader than the explanatory dictionaries
indicate. The connection between miracle and God in most terms was observed among
UwB students, which probably results from greater religiosity and the preservation of religious
traditions in Poland. The secularization of society, which covered the territory of Belarus in
the previous period, influenced the views of contemporary students in this field and was
a decisive factor in the perception of the phenomenon in question.
