Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with expanding knowledge related to the educational content of general didactics and educational psychology. Learning is explained in the course as a complex of neurophysiological processes taking place in different parts of the brain. The mechanisms of memory and learning and the possibilities of their pedagogical influencing are discussed. Knowledge of neurophysiological processes in the brain is further applied to the pedagogical field in connection with the individual characteristics of learning students
Expertise: - describe the basic anatomical structure of the central nervous system and explain the basic physiological processes in the brain (origin and transmission of nerve excitement), including the principles of methods of studying these processes, - characterizes individual types of memory and lists the factors that affect the quality of memory, suggests the possibilities of their pedagogical influence on selected factors. Professional skills: - state various classifications of learning styles and characterize individual styles, including their manifestations in a real educational environment, - explain what learning strategies and tactics are and how they relate to learning and cognitive styles, - characterizes children's concepts and their genesis in detail. Competences: - introduces theoretical concepts of didactic reconstruction and describes the way of working with didactic reconstruction in real educational practice.
