To develop students' pedagogical competence, adapted to the individual educational practice, successful and modern planning, organizing and managing the study process.

Description

The subject reveals close connections between subject, scientific and educational competencies of a teacher. During lectures, seminars, and independent work, higher education didactics is analyzed, emphasizing student-centered studies, international and national higher education space, forms and methods of communication, methodologies in academic environment with different groups of society. The basis of studies consists of reflexive experiential learning, which helps to develop doctoral students' analytical and critical thinking, ability to evaluate their own and others' decisions, promotes a holistic and responsible approach to their activities.

Module aim

The aim of the course is to form the ability to keep discussion on various topics by critically evaluating the propositions of disputants as well as texts and contexts they use.

Description

Annotation of course The course analyses dialogue as triplex structure: talking - with somebody - about something. It also researches the above mentioned structure's extension into polylogue through the other (direct or indirect) participants of communication, namely, into talking - with somebody - about something - by referring on somebody - criticizing somebody - and so on. The course critically compares the main theories of communication by revealing their differences, advantages and deficiencies as well as critical limits and incommensurability. The course also searches for the similarities between those theories as well as for possibilities and principles of the inter-theoretical dialogue. Finally, it reveals how inter-theoretical discussions enable critical evaluation of uncritical monological statements within communication theories themselves
