Annotation -
This course introduces students to the nature of educational science and leads them to acquire contemporary educational terminology. It introduces students to the problems of education in philosophical, historical, biological, anthropological, sociological, psychological and pedagogical contexts. It analyzes the concept of education and relates it to conceptually related terms. Attention is paid not only to the basic pedagogical categories, pedagogical terminology and its changes, but also to the social determination of education, factors of the development of the human individual, the theory of the teaching profession, the problems of moral development and moral education, questions of the authority of the educator and the educated, the relationship between education and self-education, education as a specific case of manipulation. Emphasis is placed on the value orientation of pedagogy and its importance for the humanization of education. The integrating element that tries to link the above topics is the concept of authority. Authority is seen as an anthropological constant that plays a key role in human development, education and upbringing, and whose form and conception "defines" models of education and educational styles.
