Review of the monograph - Yurii Pelekh: „Axiopedagogy: Th eoretical and methodological concept and practical perspectives”

<ns3:p>Reflection on the presence of values in teaching and education has a long, albeit variable, tradition over time. Axiopedagogy is a relatively young but rapidly developing field of research. In recent years, more and more teachers and researchers have become interested in the complex issues it raises. One of the purposes of axiology in pedagogy is to help clarify educational objectives, since without a clear understanding of the values that are important in teaching and upbringing, it is difficult to determine what should be taught and how it should be done in practice. At the same time, what decisions must be taken in this context? Among the many research topics covered in this field are: the nature of values, moral development, character formation, social justice issues, pluralism and tolerance in education. This goes hand in hand with a deep conviction that education must be based on values that can be taught and passed on to pupils, and that moral development itself is an important component of education, the functioning of which can be effectively improved. In addition, the formation of values must be integrated into the entire educational process.</ns3:p>
