Course objectives

The primary aim of the course is to appropriately concretise knowledge from general pedagogy, to enable a better understanding of the complexity of the concept of education itself, and to provide students with a foundational awareness of selected topics in pedagogy, emphasizing the necessity of an individualised and simultaneously holistic approach when working with an individual or a group. Students will be able to utilise a broad theoretical foundation from the field of education in connection with other disciplines (especially psychological and social ones).


Learning outcomes

Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to:


·       demonstrate a clear understanding of foundational pedagogical terminology,


·       apply acquired professional knowledge in the school environment and when working with children and youth,


·       independently identify various phenomena in the field of education and respond to them specifically.
