Course objectives
The seminar is focused on practical encounter with various concepts of respecting education. It consists in emphasis on practical tools for an educational activity, which are often based on various (theoretically-based) especially communication models and concepts (I-verdict, natural and artificial consequences, a method without the defeated, etc.). Simultaneously, each student in the seminar will have a possibility to take a critical position towards the introduced methods and concepts of respecting education. The base of the seminar is in mediation of self-experience with these techniques.
Learning outcomes
Outcomes: • Students know the essential concepts of respecting education. • Students have real self-experience with individual techniques of respecting education. • They apply selected techniques of respecting education to their life outside the context of the seminar. • They create or redefine their attitude to the theme of respecting education.
