Personalist aspect of dialogue in education

Introduction: As a personalistic dimension of education, dialogue is primarily about respecting human dignity and integrity. It plays a fundamental role in forming personality, interpersonal relationships, and social community. In the age of digital technology and digital media, dialogue is becoming particularly important, both in a personal context and in the sphere of media education. Contemporary challenges, such as individualism and digital isolation, highlight the need to develop conversational skills that will enable younger generations to build relationships based on respect, integrity, and responsibility. Research Aim: This article is a literature review, and its main source material consists of studies in the field of education and personalistic hermeneutics. Its aim is to analyse the role of dialogue in educational processes from the personalistic perspective, with particular emphasis on its impact on individual development, building interpersonal relationships, and counteracting the negative effects of digital isolation. The study aims to show how dialogue can serve as a tool supporting moral, social, and personal development, promoting independent, responsible thinking, as well as full development of human beings as physical, mental, and spiritual entities. Evidence-based Facts: Current research and studies emphasise the importance of dialogue as a fundamental method of communication and media education. It is emphasised that dialogue requires respect for the individual and for the truth, and that its scope extends beyond communication to include moral and social issues. The values of dialogue include justice, respect, trust, clarity, gentleness, prudence, and responsibility. Summary: Dialogue as a method, process, and attitude from a personalistic perspective focuses on the dignity and integrity of every human being and emphasises the right to freedom, self-determination, and self-possession. Furthermore, according to the personalistic concept, the role of dialogue in education is based on building authentic relationships between the educator and the educated, which are based on mutual respect, openness, and trust. Dialogue also serves as a tool to support moral, emotional, and intellectual development. It is a means of jointly seeking truth and such values as justice and respect, which promotes formation of social attitudes.
