Fundamental Pedagogy Jana Doležalová

The role of the teacher and educators
The educator calls forth educational processes aiming at the interiorisation of 
standards, requirements and values in educatees because this leads to positive 
personality changes. Also, the teacher helps to create the processes of value 
interiorisation, which has an impact on his/her position. 
In addition to education to values, the teacher develops and cultivates learners 
in various areas of science and society’s culture.
The educator and the educatee in pedagogical situations 
The issue of coping with educational situations is always a matter of the 
approach to the educator’s authority and to freedom of the educatee which is 
shaped either by experience and/or by studying scientific and popular literature 
about this topic.
These situations may be difficult to solve for educators (especially beginners), 
which is why it is useful to get advice from experienced educators. There is also 
an option to study theoretical foundations which provide one with a summary of 
possibilities of how to deal with such situations and thus with a detached view 
of this issue. The list of literature contains some sources which will provide 
theoretical information and specific suggestions on how to solve the most 
frequent situations.
