Course objectives
The subject – epistemological sources of teaching – has in a preparation of Primary school teachers and tutors a propaedeutic significance for further pedagogical disciplines of diagnostic and didactic character. They will make an immediate use of the acquired theoretical pieces of knowledge in practical activities with children and on the grounds of comprehension of child’s cognitive mechanisms their pedagogical thinking and individual conception of teaching will get formed from the very beginning in favour of constructivistic approaches and autentical learning.
