Abstract - Impulses of neoparadigmatic pedagogy. Guidelines for educational theory and practice
Problem and Aim. Reflections on the nature, needs, the world of values, abilities, power of the mind and consciousness, and the comprehensive development of man are often present in modern science. Holistic, subjective, personalistic approaches to the human being as a bodily and spiritual being encourage researchers to look for pedagogical inspiration in mathematics and natural sciences.
Method. Analytical review of the monograph Pedagogika nowoparadygmatyczna. W poszukiwaniu nowych inspiracji i aplikacji pedagogicznych (Neoparadigmatic pedagogy. In search of new inspiration and educational applications) by Wojciech Cynarski, Wojciech Blazejewski, Wojciech Pasterniak, as well as other works in philosophy and psychology. The author tries to answer questions about modern and efficient possibilities of educating and upbringing in relation to the civilisation challenges of the 21st century.
Results. The author emphasizes the role of teachers supporting the development of students’ rational, emotional and spiritual intelligence. The text contains numerous references to quantum physics and its impact on training, therapy and other areas of human existence. The theoretical analyses are accompanied by references to the educational practice.
