Learning man, at first glance, it seemsvery simple occupation. However, in practice, teaching someone something is not easy. After all, by its nature - a person is prone to laziness, and only the need to take care of their daily bread makes it develop and acquire new knowledge and skills. That is why the learning process of the new generation is so important that an entire science, pedagogy, has been created to study it. Let's find out more about it, and also find out what is the object of pedagogy and how it differs from the subject and the subject.
What is "pedagogy"
According to the noun science is called, which is concentrated on the formation of the personality in each of its age periods.
The following chain of concepts is closely connected with pedagogy: upbringing, training, education, formation, development, socialization.
To better understand them, it is worth knowing the definition of each.
- Education is a systematic and purposeful process of forming a system of attitudes and beliefs, as well as knowledge and skills.
- Training is the process of interaction between the teacher and his ward, with the goal of the latter assimilating the knowledge system, the formation of his skills, and the development of the natural inclinations of the student.
- Education - this concept has a dual nature. On the one hand, it is a complex of education and training. On the other hand, this is the result achieved by them.
- Formation - the development of the individual under the influence of external factors and internal motives.
- Development is a process of change in a person, inthe result of which he is improving in moral, intellectual and professional terms. Unlike other pedagogical phenomena, this has a spasmodic character. In other words, from the theory of the tendency for the development of the student it is possible to calculate, however, in practice this process takes place at each individual pace.
- Socialization - the process of adaptation of the individual insociety Like education, this category belongs to pedagogical goals. That is, pedagogy is aimed at helping the individual to find his place in society and turn into its full and useful member.
What are the sections of pedagogy
Before you figure out what is the object of pedagogy, it is worth finding out what sections this science has. The fact is that some of them have slightly more specialized objects.
As a rule, there are eight sections.
- History of Pedagogy.
- Special, it is therapeutic.
- Comparative.
- Penitentiary (penitentiary).
- Age.
- Social.
- Practical.
- Overall
What is the object of pedagogy as a science
Having considered in general terms what pedagogy is, it is worth going to the main point.
First of all, it is worth noting that the question "What is the object of the study of pedagogy?", Different teachings are answered differently.
Sometimes there is the opinion that if the subject inThis process is the teacher, then the student himself acts as the object. However, this interpretation is not entirely correct. After all, it significantly narrows the scale of the science in question, since the educated person is not an object of pedagogy.
The world-famous teacher-practitioner A.S.Makarenko in the early twentieth century. noted the fallacy of such a statement, urging colleagues to focus not on the student, but on his psyche. However, such a progressive view was not complete. The fact is, the human psyche (in this case, the student) is an object of another science (psychology). And although this aspect is always taken into account when organizing the educational process, it is also not an object of pedagogy.
What is it then? The real object of pedagogy is education.
Subject and object in pedagogy: what is the difference?
Having considered what is the subject and object of the science under study, it is worth knowing about its subject matter.
Like the object, it focuses on education.However, in this case, we are talking about a practical, purposeful, thoughtful process, organized not only in educational institutions, but also in families.
What is the object of special pedagogy and social
As mentioned above, in certain branches of the science under consideration, excellent, more specialized objects are distinguished.
So in curative pedagogy (concentrated onthe study and organization of the educational process with pupils with special needs) the object is directly the identity of such a problem child. In this case, the subject remains the same process of education.
Social pedagogy is aimed at studying and analyzing the influence of the environment on education.
As in the previous case, in general, the student himself is the object of social pedagogy. However, in particular, his adaptation in society, in the process of personality formation, is considered.
The subject of social pedagogy is the regularity of the course of socialization.
What is the object in other pedagogical sciences
In the history of pedagogy, the object is the pattern of development (in theory and in practice) of the process of education among different peoples in different eras, and finding general trends.
In the age pedagogy - is the education of the child from birth to his transformation into an adult.
In the case of comparative pedagogy, these are comparisons of educational systems and institutions in different countries, the search for their features related to the culture of a single nation.
The object of penitentiary pedagogy is the educational system in correctional institutions.
