Humanization of the Learning Process in Higher Educational Institutions
Journal Title: Social Behavior Research and Practice – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
In the current context of globalization and integration into the world educational space, the issues related to psychological and information safety of the learning environment are the most topical. Global socio-economic and political changes, along with society’s entry into the post-industrial age, have contributed to the democratization and humanization of a man’s life and his activities. Treating a human being as the highest value of social existence, has become the condition for the identification and development of the creative potential of a person and the training of highly qualified specialists in higher educational institutions. Successful training of future specialists at the university is achieved not only by being informed, knowledgeable or the quality of teaching (that is obviously very important), but mainly by meaningful guidance, giving the students freedom and allowing them to participate in independent activities, by choosing an appropriate organization and improving the process of education. Humanistic oriented higher education allows each participant to apply his knowledge effectively, develop skills in new situations, and reveal his potential.
