Academic literature on the topic 'Psycho-didactic approach'

The psycho-didactic approach in education is becoming more and more popular. Its supporters emphasize the great values that are associated with the implementation of this approach to various fields of science and school subjects. The greatest value of the psycho-didactic approach is supporting the personal growth of the learner by respecting the developmental factors involved in each subject’s learning processes. Psycho-didactics could also be used in the design of core curricula and their implementation in the field of religious, ethical, and moral education. By supporting personal development through moral and religious education, it is possible to simultaneously influence the agencyof each learner. Personal agency in self-development, as well as in religious and moral development, is one of the greatest challenges for modern education and one of the most significant issues of positive mental health advancement in the field of education. Within psycho-didactics, it becomes possible to foster every student in an individual way, therefore all methods and techniques used in the psycho-didactic approach are focused on the student’s needs.

Authors in this contribution focus on issue of subject matter structure creation by the teacher as an important psycho-didactic domain of education process and how does a student perceive this structure. The aim of the teacher is not only to impart the knowledge to students but also to show them and teach them possible ways of how to understand the subject matter better and how to get to the fundamentals of it. Based on the structure of subject matter created by the teacher a student creates cognitive frames which become basis for his further learning. We pay attention to definition of epistemology of subject matter structure, questions of psycho-didactic approach to teaching, creating structure of subject matter and how does the teacher work with the text. Empirical part of the contribution investigates teachers' preferences of subject matter structure and statistically describes subjective perception of level of understanding of the subject matter by a student influenced by the particular subject matter structure realized by the teacher.

In the article, taking into account the challenges of the global information revolution, modern socio-educational realities, the authors substantiate the need for a communicative approach in teaching physics as one of the methodological approaches of a new scientific direction – psycho didactics of physics. The purpose of the article is defined as the coverage of some results of experimental teaching of physics to high school students of a secondary school based on a communicative approach with elements of bilingualism, its essence is characterized. Using a specific example, the author’s methodology for implementing this approach was first demonstrated, the need for its integration with other psycho-didactic approaches with the aim of comprehensive development of the student’s personality in the process of teaching physics is emphasized. Some experimental data are presented that make it possible, as a first approximation, to optimistically evaluate the results of testing the methodology of the communicative approach with elements of bilingualism in physics education, the prospect of further studies to obtain data on a more voluminous statistical sample is outlined , as well as to identify the possibility of using the proposed methodology in studying other disciplines in natural sciences in both secondary and high school.

The analysis of intelligent learning systems efficiency revealed a number of contradictions between the capabilities of software-integrated computer hardware facilities and low didactic efficiency of their use. Therefore, when designing intelligent learning systems, the task of researching and analyzing the existing psycho-pedagogical theories, concepts and training methods is still urgent today. The purpose of the paper is to study existing theories, concepts and learning methods for adapting them to automated software-integrated hardware learning facilities. The paper proposes variants of teacher and students adaptation to intelligent learning systems capabilities. Meanwhile, in the process of users adaptation to intelligent learning system by changing the color presentation of information blocks, its possible to gain a chance to influence students psycho-emotional state favorably. The author considers various fonts (words image) application which influence the efficiency of perception and capture of visual information; the author takes into account psycho physiological capacities of human capture of visual information and considers functionality of informing software-integrated hardware facilities, namely: volume and speed of visual information processed; - increasing the sizes of graphic pictures by which a certain person cannot analyze information presented. The methodological basis of the research is a complex application of mutually supportive approaches and methods based on the principles of general scientific methodology. The main approaches were - Person-oriented, system-working and competence-oriented approaches. The analysis of existing theories and concepts has shown that each of the studied educational concepts has its values. The paper considers shortcomings of basic theories and educational concepts from the position of a complex approach to the solution of educational tasks. Thereunder, any of basic applied theories and concepts can be adopted as a single universal educational basis for educational process structuring. A specific emphasis in the paper is aimed at the advantages and disadvantages of the concept of personal-oriented education, which is the most progressive in learning process structuring in authors opinion and which causes more discords of opponents. Using the results of theories and education concepts analysis the author gives recommendations how to design technical requirements to intelligent learning systems. The conditions of feasibility of intellectual learning systems and their didactic values have been formulated. The results of the research can be used in the design of intelligent learning systems for the purpose of selecting a complex of didactic educational tools.

IntroductionPsychosocial Education is defined as give to the patient structured, systematic and didactic information about mental illness and his treatment. Actually is one the most frequent rehabilitation approaches, being used in several mental health departments. The good results obtained by this approach are congruent with the principles and guidelines defined for best practices in rehabilitation process (Rummel-Kluge et al, 2006).AimsDescribe a psycho educative b-learning program develop to reduce self-stigma in schizophrenic individuals.MethodsA psycho educative B-Learning program was developed using the results of other studies. This program was after applied during 4 months with 21 schizophrenic individuals followed in a psychiatric department, evaluated in a pre and pos-test model.ResultsThe program includes 10 sessions intentionally prepared for those individuals, given information to reduced self-stigma using topics such us myths, stereotypes, self-esteem, self-confidence, relapse prevention, social interaction, feel include in the community, being able to ask for help and to recover. All those topics where discuss using Moodle platform from Porto University within a group in the presence of the therapist and individually at home. A sociodrama group was also developed.ConclusionsThis approach seems to empower the individuals, allowing them to achieve the program by their own rhythm and to participate within a group but also to be in contact using the Moodle platform, decreasing feeling of loneliness. Primary results seem to be good, with low relapse, low absenteeism in class and some success in finding a job.

This paper aimed to introduce the Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion KMDD® as one of the most effective methods that are designed to foster moral competence and, therefore, to promote tolerance and equality, regardless of cultural background, religion, or views. It is mainly used within the educational context, but it can be also implemented in different environments and conditions. The Konstanz Method of Dilemma Discussion should also be considered as the representative of a psycho-didactic approach to education. There is a possibility of assessing KMDD®’s effectiveness with the Moral Competence Test (MCT®), as well as comparing its significance with other methods that are not only based on the discussions of moral and spiritual dilemmas. Therefore, dilemma discussions would seem to be the best framework for practicing not only social skills and a democratic attitude but also positive mental health and psychological stability by providing a background for personal moral and spiritual growth.

In order to develop the core element of professional training (knowledge, skills and abilities) the system of pedagogical conditions and principles (overall didactical and specific), that include the peculiarities in performing teaching activities while training lawyers.The core of this system is formed by the general didactical principles: a systematic and consequent approach, scientific methods in terms of training; a dominant-motivational mindset; availability of training; clear examples in the course of the training process; consciousness and an active approach in the course of the training process; the solidity of knowledge, skills and abilities; the inclusion of peculiarities related to the individual and his age.The peculiar principles that determine the essence of a law pedagogue in the currently developed situation, among these principles there’re the following: the principle of the dominant –motivational mindset, the principle of an individual approach, the principle of variable rhythmical training, the principle of strict determination and setting of time limits for the professional actions of a teacher; the principle of additional psychological pressure based on the main psycho-physiological pressure; the principle of emotional training.Among the organizational-pedagogical conditions there’re the following: providing of professional motivation to the future masters; the assurance of the training to be oriented at the professional and psychological imprints of the law pedagogue; active use of the informational environment of the educational facility; the introduction of interactive methods in order to form the pedagogical culture of the future masters in law. The specificity of the training of future lawyers puts before the teacher of law disciplines a number of requirements to the personality of the teacher, which in pedagogical science are defined as professionally significant personal qualities, and the scientific basis for the formation of these qualities are pedagogical principles and organizational and pedagogical conditions.To form the content of vocational training (knowledge, skills and abilities), we need a system of pedagogical conditions and principles (general and specific), that take into account all the peculiarities and specifics of teaching lawyers. As a basis of this system we put general didactic principles: systemicity and consistency; scientific knowledge in learning; dominant-motivational attidude; learning accessibility; visibility in learning; awareness and learning activity; strength of knowledge, skills and abilities; taking into account individual and age-specific features. Specific principles that reflect the essence of the teacher of law disciplines in modern conditions of development include: the principle of dominant-motivational attitude; the principle of individual approach in learning; the principle of multi-directional rhythmic training; principle of strict regulation and time limitation of professional actions of the teacher; the principle of additional psychological charge on the base of psycho-physiological stress; the principle of emotionality in learning.General dictatic principles are the basis for studying all disciplines, and also should regulate the organizational foundations of the educational process at different levels. Principles are closely related to the laws of learning and reflect didactic laws. On the basis of general didactic principles, the principles of professional methodology are developed.One of the mentioned directions of realization of the preparation of the future masters in jurisprudence for teaching activities is the introduction of interactive forms and methods of teaching that contribute to the expected results, the integration of disciplines of psychological and pedagogical preparation becomes especially important.The organizational-pedagogical conditions include: providing professional motivation for future masters; orientation of training on the profession and psychograms of the teacher of law disciplines; use of information environment of educational institution; the introduction of interactive methods for the formation of the pedagogical culture of future masters of jurisprudence.Key words: pedagogical principles, pedagogical conditions, professional training of lawyers, master's degree.

One of the topical fields of modern education is implementation of an inclusive approach which makes it possible to get equal rights and access to education for students without regard for their health condition. The purpose of the article is to carry out the analysis of the inclusive components of learning environment in educational institutions and of higher and secondary professional education (using the city of Volgograd and the Volgograd Region as an example). As a part of the study, an integrated model for inclusive educational environment, which contains technology (psycho-didactic), space-object, social and process components, was developed. Relying on this model, analysis and assessment of the state of the learning environment in educational institutions and of higher and secondary professional education of Volgograd and the Volgograd Region were made. The results showed that each educational institution has its own specific way of organizing inclusive environment; there is no common standard for its implementation. The research possesses both theoretical significance and applied functions so far as with the help of this model it is possible to assess the state of learning environment and building a unified educational system on the basis of all its components.

Background: Prolonged delay in seeking medical attention for acute myocardial infarction persists as a global phenomenon, which limits effective disease management. The effects of previous mass-media campaigns and psycho-educations have been minimal. Aims: This study aimed to develop a modeling-based narrative intervention, and to examine its feasibility and preliminary effects on care-seeking behavioral intention in Chinese acute myocardial infarction patients. Methods: The modeling-based narrative intervention was developed by integrating updated research evidence and participants’ perspectives. Ten patients were invited to co-design the intervention. The narrative approach was adopted to engage patients in a mental rehearsal of the decision-making process through a virtual acute myocardial infarction attack experience. A pilot randomized controlled trial was adopted to examine the feasibility and preliminary effects of this intervention. Results: A total of 67 participants were randomly allocated to receive either the modeling-based narrative intervention ( n=34) or didactic education ( n=33). The intervention was feasible and well-accepted by the participants as evidenced by high attendance and participant satisfaction. They considered the intervention as informative and interesting. The majority of the participants in the intervention group expressed that they enjoyed the intervention. Although the preliminary data showed non-significant between-group differences, a more prominent improving trend for acute myocardial infarction knowledge, care-seeking attitudes and beliefs in the intervention group were evident. Conclusions: This study is the first of its kind to adopt a novel narrative approach to optimize care-seeking behaviors among patients with acute myocardial infarction. The preliminary findings showed that this approach was highly feasible and accepted by patients.

Bien que située au cœur de l'activité quotidienne de l'enseignant dans sa classe, l'évaluation interne est une forme d'évaluation peu étudiée. La thèse s'intéresse à la partie la plus explicite de cette évaluation constituée par l'ensemble des épreuves soumises par chaque enseignant aux élèves à des fins d'évaluation, et qui servent de support aux jugements évaluatifs portés dans les « livrets scolaires ». Plus précisément, nous étudions la validité de cette évaluation selon trois dimensions : une dimension de conformité, permettant d'apprécier comment l'évaluation remplit le cahier des charges institutionnel ; une dimension psycho-didactique, permettant d'apprécier en quoi chacune des épreuves est susceptible - ou non - de remplir les objectifs qui lui sont assignés ; une dimension didactique permettant de juger comment l'ensemble des épreuves assure la couverture conceptuelle des champs disciplinaires concernés. Notre travail est centré sur les évaluations internes conduites aux premier et troisième trimestres par des enseignants de Cours Préparatoire en français et en mathématiques, plus particulièrement dans les sous-domaines à fort enjeu socio-scolaire que constituent la lecture, les nombres et le calcul. Pour étudier la première dimension, nous sommes amené à expliciter les référentiels utilisés par les enseignants pour conduire l'évaluation. Une analyse du lien entre ces référentiels et les livrets scolaires utilisés par les enseignants est entreprise. Elle renseigne sur la conformité de l'évaluation à la demande de l'institution scolaire. Concernant la dimension psycho-didactique, centrale dans notre travail, l'enjeu est de prendre en compte, pour chaque épreuve, les éléments qui auraient pu échapper à l'analyse proprement conceptuelle de la tâche et qui pourraient cependant s'avérer des déterminants majeurs du comportement de réponse des élèves. Cela suppose l'explicitation d'un cadre de référence - celui de l'approche psycho-didactique - qui permette effectivement d'analyser chaque épreuve et le fonctionnement cognitif potentiel des élèves confrontés à ces épreuves. La détermination de référentiels de nature didactique (ou épistémo-didactique) qui permettent d'analyser le contenu des tests utilisés par chaque enseignant constitue la base de l'analyse de la validité au sens de la troisième dimension (validité de couverture du test). La conjugaison des dimensions psycho-didactique et didactique de la validité de l'évaluation permet une double analyse, globale et locale, des tests et des épreuves. La validité d'un test est dépendante de la validité des épreuves qui le constitue. La conclusion la plus saillante est que la validité des épreuves et la validité des tests, dans bien des cas, ne sont pas assurées. Cela conduit à remettre en cause les jugements évaluatifs prononcés suite aux passations de l'évaluation. Ce résultat plaide en faveur d'une analyse de la validité conjuguant approche didactique du contenu des tests et approche psycho-didactique des épreuves composant le test
Internal assessment is not often studied as a form of assessment although it is the teacher daily school activity. This thesis focuses on the most explicit part of this assessment i.e. all the tasks given to the pupils by their teacher in order to assess them. These tasks are used for evaluative judgment written in the « school report book». More precisely, we study this assessment validity depending on three distinct issues: a conformity issue that allows us to understand how assessing may fulfill the institutional specifications; a psycho-didactics issue that allows us to see how each task is likely to fulfill the assigned goals' or not; a didactics issue that allows us to grasp how the tests may conceptually cover the concerned disciplinary fields. This thesis explores internal assessments in French and Mathematics conducted by 1st grade teachers during the first and third terms. We particularly focus on reading, numeracy and arithmetic that are subfields with high socio-educational stakes. In order to examine the first issue, we explain the reference frameworks used by teachers when giving the test. French school programs are central in this area. We investigate how those reference frameworks and school reports are linked. It shows how assessment conforms to the academic institution. When focusing on our main issue, the psycho-didactic one, we emphasize for each task on the elements that could have been missed by the conceptual analysis of the task but yet could turn out to be key factors in the pupils answering behaviors. It means a new reference framework needs to be accounted for: the psycho-didactic approach brings the analysis tools for each task and for the potential cognitive functioning of the pupils who perform those tasks. In order to construct the validity analysis of the test from our third issue (test cover validity), we point out the didactic (or epistemo-didactic) frameworks that allows us to analyze the content of the tests given by each teacher. In combining the psycho-didactic and didactic approaches of assessment validity, we are able to conduct a double analysis, a global one and a local one, of both tasks and tests. The validity of a test depends on the validity of its tasks. The results mainly show that the tasks validity and the tests validity are often not ensured, which leads to question the value of evaluative judgment following the assessment. This advocates for a validity analysis combining a didactic approach of the test content to a psycho-didactic approach of the tasks

The article aims at investigating, analyzing and summarizing the peculiarities of organization of education of schoolchildren with special needs in secondary schools of Germany, Austria, Switzerland. The authors describe the experience of the countries mentioned above. In particular, the national policy of German-speaking countries concerning the integration of people with special educational needs into common socio-educational environment has been considered, the provisions of state and regional regulations governing this process have been highlighted, as well as the key approaches to its organization and practical implementation have been described by the authors of the article under consideration. The study reveals general ideas and principles of education of children with special needs in secondary schools of Austria, Switzerland, Germany and highlights the specificity of their practical implementation at the legal level of these countries in general and throughout specific regions of each one, in particular. In the process of the analysis the following methods have been applied: description, generalization, comparison and systematization of psycho-pedagogical, didactic and methodological researches. The authors reveal the specific features of the implementation of policies in the field of inclusive schooling, which had been implemented by the governments of developed countries: coverage of all children, despite individual differences or difficulties; adoption of the principle of inclusive education in the form of a law or a political declaration; development of demonstration projects and encouragement of exchange of experience with other countries; creation of decentralized and joint mechanisms for planning, monitoring and evaluation of educational services for children and adults with special educational needs; encouraging the participation of parents, communities and organizations of persons with disabilities in the planning and decision-making processes to meet special educational needs; efforts to develop strategies for early identification of such needs, as well as professional aspects of inclusive education; ensuring of the establishment and implementation of teacher training programs to provide education for people with special educational needs in public schools. It has been concluded that the integration of people with special educational needs into the academic environment of public school involves the recognition and consideration of different opportunities and needs of students, providing different types and rates of learning according to students’ abilities, implementing the appropriate organizational structure, teaching and educational strategies, providing necessary additional assistance and support.

One of the premises that determines the research topic is that the methodologies for forming the self-image of the students of the primary classes in the process of receiving the literary text are not sufficiently known, systematized, valorized, applied. In addition, the literary text with its dual function of psychological and pedagogical resource is used in the educational approach more as a moral value. The emotional aspect, probed in the theories of art or more specifically of artistic literary education, which contributes to the development of the respective intelligence is less valued by teachers. The "poor" emotional intelligence developed at the students, the problems of the self-image made us preoccupied about this problem. The purpose of the research aims to reveal some methods corresponding to the literary-artistic education for the formation of the self-image of the students of the primary school in the process of receiving the literary text. The research aims to establish the psycho-pedagogical and literary-artistic landmarks for the formation of the self-image of the students of the primary school in the process of receiving the literary text; studying the practical situation regarding the formation of the student's self-image; applying questionnaires to investigate the student's self-image; highlighting, in the process of the pedagogical experiment, the tendencies and the particularities of forming the self-image of the student, as well as the validation of the formative approach within the control phase; creating opportunities to introduce didactic technologies specific to the system of literary-artistic activities for the formation of the student's self-image. Expected results: a comparative analysis of the curriculum and book of Romanian language and literature, 3rd / 4th grades in Romania and in the Republic of Moldova, regarding the existence of the competences / contents that lead to the formation of the self-image of the students, two lots (one experimental and one control) of 100 students from the 3rd / 4th grades from Romania and from the Republic of Moldova, on which questionnaires on the self-image will be applied, an optional curriculum Read and get to know yourself! for the 3rd / 4th grades, which aims at forming the self-image of the primary students in the process of receiving the literary text, an auxiliary for the 3rd / 4th graders and a guide for the teaching staff the optional class, with different contents aimed at forming the self-image of the students of the primary classes in the process of receiving the literary text, a training program and the course support, approved by the Ministry of National Education of Romania, 25 trained teachers. The research runs from November 2020 to June 2021.
