Abstract

Pedagogy refers to a real person. It is the science about upbringing, education and self-education of people during their whole life. Pedagogy is not interested only in the situation „which exists now”, but also in the things „which can be/should happen”. Starting with a special human position in the universe, it states that people are summoned to act in a continuous and creative way. Guided by principle, education refers to a „possible” person, conditions of his/her development and creative actions, both as a result of intentional educational processes, as well as his/her personal self-education. Education is much more than only „general knowledge”. A notion of education refers not only to education itself or professional training and important development factors, but also to a full formation of a person. We can notice a change factor in education and we can say that education is to play a basic role in development of society, creating a new social order and releasing development possibilities for both individual people and big social groups. Thus, it is necessary to have real values that people can choose and aim at because only thanks to such real values we can be better and we can develop our nature to the full extent. People cannot find real values by closing themselves off, but they should be opened and should look for these values also in transcendent dimensions. It is a necessary condition that should be met by everybody if we want to become ourselves and develop as a grown-up and mature people.
