The subject of Educational Psychology is a subject whose acceptance, teaching and mastery can significantly affect the quality of teaching. Its topics, which will be preferred in the forthcoming course, touch upon issues that cause frequent problems for both teacher and student.
The aim is to focus on the key topics of educational psychology, the mastery of which can significantly affect the quality of teaching in a new concept. The selection of topics was made not only with regard to their importance for the educational process, but also with regard to the given time allocation. The four defined topics do not reduce the topic of educational psychology in any way - on the contrary, the possibility of solving common problems between pupils and teachers is strengthened.
Of course, they do not exhaust educational psychology in its complexity, but they emphasize those areas that play a key role in the educational process (especially in the arts).
Topics:
A. Conception of the pupil, development of his personality (not only his professional orientation)
B. The personality of the teacher, his/her key position
C. Pedagogical psychological diagnostics - according to the new concept applied directly in the educational process
D. Current problems taking into account the specific problems of the field of study. E.g. motivational issues with regard to the field of study (talent, self-concept, frustration, stress, public speaking...)
According to the topics presented, students will be guided to critically look at past, present and emerging concepts of pedagogical strategies in the 21st century in relation to the cultural and academic legacy of the Czech Republic and the EU and selected schools worldwide.
