Learning outcomes
The Pedagogical propaedeutic is meant for students of bachelor study programmes focused on education, who want to be familiar with the basics of upbringing and education during the first stage of their university preparation. Pedagogical propaedeutic serves as a pre-clinic discipline in which students become familiar with the definition of education as a science, basic paradigms in education, and terminology in this branch. Other areas, that are covered within this subject are basic methodological approaches to pedagogy, factors and agents active in education, the school system in the world and in the Czech Republic, an overview of the development of alternative education and school reform systems, current educational theories and innovative trends in education and upbringing, and pedeutology.
Students explain the differences in education here, in the Czech Republic and worldwide. Students describe the specifics of education (pedagogy) when compared to other scientific disciplines, justify the existence and the establishment of education as a science and are familiar with the differences in various schools and approaches to this scientific branch. Students are also able to discuss the existence of social inequality in our society, analyse the features and functions of the organisations focused on education in our society, apply various theories to the most discussed problems of the current society. Students comment on the problems of a society from the education point of view and are able to differentiate the qualitative and quantitative methods of research in education. Students also define the basic terminology connected with education, understand the influence of an environment on an individual and are able to briefly characterize the mutual effects of a society and the upbringing on an individual.
