The study course acquaints with the subject and basic categories of research in the science of pedagogy. Different theories of pedagogy are considered, as well as current problems of pedagogy are described. Learning the content of the study course takes place in a close context of theory and practice. In order to ensure active learning, students are involved in group discussions, situation analysis, literature studies, presentations on a current pedagogical problem chosen by themselves or given by the lecturer. Thus, the link between theory and practice is also emphasized. Students evaluate the knowledge gained in theory in a specific pedagogical situation. The reflexive questions proposed by the teaching staff allow the student to deepen his understanding of the learning process, its basic elements and their mutual connection: the style of the teacher and learning motivation, cooperation in a pedagogical environment. Learning the content is organized in such a way that students improve their ability to cooperate, share experiences and exchange ideas.
