CHARACTER MATTERS ČILI NA CHARAKTERU V PEDAGOGICE ZÁLEŽÍ

Jan Hábl

Teaching a child to read, write or count represents a certain didactic art on the part of the teacher. Current pedagogy is quite advanced in this respect. She has made tremendous progress over the last few hundred years. There are countless excellent methodological strategies for imparting a wealth of information, facts and skills to a child. But what makes pedagogy a problem is learning the good, educating the character. The amount of knowledge since the science and technology revolution has grown exponentially, educational curricula overloaded, the amount of data and information is so overwhelming that there is no time to address their moral aspects. Theoretically, we know that education or school in general should not be just about passing on knowledge, in each handbook such as Introduction to Pedagogy, Fundamentals of Pedagogy, etc., we read that in addition to the so‑called cognitive goals, we must also pursue affective goals. We must shape the moral component of character. We have to teach good. But can we do it? Is it possible at all? Is there a method for this?
