Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with basic theoretical framework of experiential reflective learning which is necessary for subsequent use in practice. The course will be partially in contact form and some parts in distance way too. Students will be gradually introduced to various personalities and theories in the field of pedagogy, psychology, sociology and philosophy, who have significantly contributed to shaping the concept of experiential reflective learning (J. Dewey, K. Lewin, D. Kolb) and their subsequent applications (A. Brockbank, D. Sugerman, J. Moon, D. Schön etc.).
