The principles of educational communication of an orthodox teacher and students at a secular university

Abstract

The article presents the system of principles of educational communication based on the comparative analysis of the educational principles of Orthodox and secular pedagogy and proceeds from the humanities-based pedagogical paradigm of the ontological essence of education and from the value-semantic nature of pedagogical interaction. The principles regulate the activity of an Orthodox teacher at a secular university and ensure the transition from theoretical pedagogical knowledge to normative. The principles meet the following requirements: 1) they refl ect the “territory of agreement” between Orthodox and secular pedagogy, 2) they comply with the characteristics of students as a socio-demographic group and 3) they meet the secular nature of the educational process at the university. The principles are formulated in three groups: 1) basic principles (culture-building, systematic, adaptive, related to life and future professional activities of students, co-transformation of the teacher and students); 2) the principles that determine the logic of pedagogical activity (“cultural elevator”, the preliminary destruction of stereotypes); 3) the principles that determine the forms of educational interaction (dialogism, imagery, appeal to personal experience, versatility).
