Contemporary Theoretical Understandings About Education
An important role in upbringing and educational work is played by the application of adequate methods and means and knowledge and respect for the principles of educational work. The chapter will elaborate the most frequently represented methods of upbringing and educational work used so far, the advantages and limitations in their application, and the conditions that must be considered during their application in educational work. The methods of upbringing should be known by all educators (parents, preschool educators, teachers, and others), and also the personality of each educator should be known and used accordingly. The application of adequate methods and means of educational work in a timely manner is the best guarantee for the prevention of undesirable behaviors and other forms of sociopathological manifestations. The chapter will also present the means of educational work that can be used as well as principles that should be known and adhered to by all educators engaged in education and educational work.
