Obecná pedagogika - mezi filosofií a vědou
Jaroslav Koťa, Martin Strouhal
e-Pedagogium 2014, 14(3):7-24 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2014.025
This paper deals with the scientific character of General Education. The authors discuss the ambiguity of its aims and methods, and consequently its unique position on the border-line between philosophy and science. General Education refers to philosophical reflection of the questions of the meaning of life and its place in the totality of the world, of values and models of good life. Education as a social science makes use of the principles of exact and objective scientific methods. The authors advocate the idea that it is the tension between philosophy and science that gives general education great prospects for development in the future. In this...
Pedagogika jako věda a jako společenský úkol - inspirace z myšlenkové dílny Johna Deweyho
Markéta Čermáková
e-Pedagogium 2014, 14(3):25-34 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2014.026
The aim of this paper is to recall a few ideas of John Dewey, related to the contemporary considerations of general education. It is mainly the question of the impact of significant social changes on educational practice and on creation of educational theory. The accelerating pace of development in both the economic and technical areas gives rise to new social needs. The impact of social environment one grows up in plays an increasingly larger role in educational theory. The paper notes that Dewey was the first to consider social environment to be the basis and driving force of the mental and emotional development of a child, a breeding ground for...

Tomáš Kasper
e-Pedagogium 2014, 14(3):43-52 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2014.028
The article reconstructs the development of a scientific sub-discipline of general pedagogy in the Czech interwar pedagogical discussion. The so called controversy over the concept of pedagogy - the issue of the concept of pedagogy as natural science, empirical, quantitative or normative science is analyzed here. The positivist tradition is reflected more deeply in the Czech pedagogical discussion, which stands in contrast to the German pedagogical tradition in the Czech lands of the monarchy and the interwar Czechoslovakia. The study defines a different view of the establishment of general pedagogy and pedagogy as a science by F. Krejčí, O. Kádner,...

"Měl bych" - Poznámky k potřebě etického vychovatelství
Jan Hábl
e-Pedagogium 2014, 14(3):82-91 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2014.031
This study deals with three fundamental questions about why we - as human beings - both have and need moral education. The three points are: 1) because human nature is endowed with moral capacity, 2) because there is an objective moral reality, 3) because of specific nature of our postmodern situation, in which we recognize the need for moral education. The sub-goal of this study is to present an argument for traditional moral realism, which not only presupposes any moral education but makes it possible in the first place.
Normative Education in Educational Science (Pedagogy) and Andragogy
Andrea Rozkovcová
e-Pedagogium 2014, 14(3):92-103 | DOI: 10.5507/epd.2014.032
This article is focused on defining the term education in its normative meaning in Andragogy. Using Educational Science (Pedagogy) as a framework for this, similarities and differences of the term in both the fields are mentioned. The text includes some selected argumentations of leading andragogists in the Czech Republic. The aim of the contribution is to define normative education more solidly as normative educational objectives have not been focused on sufficiently. Intrinsic conditions of education as an important determinant of educational process are used to frame the leading idea of the text. The postulate is that Andragogy is not only a modern...
