Humánní pedagogika Šalvy Amonašviliho

Amonashvili’s humane pedagogy, as the author terms his concept, is an attempt radically to overcome the authoritarian style of education while emphasizing its moral-spiritual aspect. The pedagogical ideas embodied in human pedagogy have won considerable support from teachers. Amonashvili has found an adequate way of communicating with the wider teaching community. Thanks to his prolific publishing and educational activities, as well as institutional and organizational tools, an extensive community of teachers and schools has been established – both in Russia and in several neighbouring countries – implementing this pedagogical theory in practice. Human pedagogy can offer a significant source of inspiration, however it cannot be mechanically transplanted from the specific Russian cultural milieu into other countries.
