Course objectives
The aim of the course is to integrate and, at a higher level of generality, systematize approaches and concepts that students have acquired in other subjects of the study plan. Broader – philosophical and ethical – contexts of social pedagogy and leisure education as a field of theory, profession and practice and overarching concepts that will enable partial knowledge to be organized into broader content units will be mediated. The aim of the course is to lead students to their own systematic thought reflection of philosophical and ethical aspects of upbringing and education in disadvantaged environments and in the leisure area. From the point of view of pedagogy, the course combines selected philosophical, sociological and psychological approaches.

- understand selected philosophical and ethical contexts of social pedagogy as a field of theory, profession and practice
- use overarching concepts to organize partial knowledge into integrated wholes

- see the interdisciplinary nature of social pedagogy and leisure pedagogy
