Наука, изучающая закономерности передачи старшим поколением и активного усвоения младшими поколениями социального опыта, необходимого для жизни и труда, называется педагогикой. Основными категориями педагогики являются: развитие, воспитание, образование, обучение. Общество прогрессирует быстрее или медленнее в зависимости от того, как в нем поставлено воспитание подрастающих поколений. “Человеку, если он должен стать человеком, необходимо получить образование,” ‒ Ян Коменский.
1. Основой европейских систем воспитания и образования стала древнегреческая философия. Древнейший ее представитель Демокрит (460 - 370 годы до нашей эры). Он с уважением относился к физическому труду. Демокрит считал, что бедняк или раб может стать выдающимся философом.
|
2. Во все времена существовала народная педагогика. Так известно, что в древней Греции совершеннолетним человеком считался только тот, кто посадил и вырастил хотя бы одно оливковое дерево. Многие из педагогических терминов происходят из Древней Греции, например, школа, в переводе досуг, игра. |
3. В период средневековья церковь монополизировала духовную жизнь общества, и направляла воспитание в узкое русло религии Проповедовался аскетизм и беспрекословное повиновение. |
4. Эпоха возрождения дала педагогов-гуманистов, провоз- гласивших: «Я ‒ человек, и ничто человеческое мне не чуждо». В их числе голландец Эразм Роттердамский (1466 – 1536)
|
5. Только в XVII веке педагогика выделилась в самостоятельную науку. Это связано с именем чешского педагога Яна Амоса Коменского (годы жизни: (1592 - 1670), который считал, что нет таких детей, которых нельзя было бы воспитать. |
6. Крупными педагогами XVII-XVII столетий были Джон Локк (1632 - 1704) в Англии, французские материалисты и просветители в XVIII веке Дени. Дидро (1713 - 1784), Клод Адриан. Гельвеций (1715 - 1771) и Жан-Жак. Руссо (1712 - 1778), которые считали, что при воспитании детей необходимо учитывать их возрастные особенноси и. обеспечить тесную связь обучения с жизнью и природой. |
7. Джон Дьюи (1859 - 1952), американский педагог, считал, что основная цель образования состоит в том, чтобы помочь личности сформироваться и научиться преодолевать всякого рода трудности. Философия Дьюи – инструментализм. Джон Дьюи настаивал на том, что образование обязательно должно базироваться на физическом, моральном и интеллектуальном развитии студента. |
8. Важная роль в развитии педагогической мысли в России принадлежит Константину Ушинскому, русскому педагогу, (1824 - 1870), который отстаивал самобытность и значимость русской педагогической науки. Одним из его принципов является принцип воспитания в труде. Он высоко ценил роль учителя в процессе воспитания.
|
9. Известность педагогической практике принесли работы Антона Макаренко (1883 - 1939): («Педагогическая поэма», «Книга для родителей»). Его принцип - умение видеть в каждом ученике положительные силы. |
10. Василий Александрович Сухомлинский (1918 - 1970) уделял большое внимание моральным проблемам молодёжи. Основные принципы этого педагога – любовь к детям, воспитание красотой и трудом. |
