INDUCING HUMANISTIC VALUES IN CHILDREN: THE IMPACT OF EDUCATORS’ AND PARENTS’ PERSONAL QUALITIES

Abstract

In the XXI^st century, at the time when a new generation is emerging alonside the evolvement of a new way of thinking, the main emphasis of national education and pedagogy has to be placed on inducing in people new feelings, new spirituality and new behavior, along with an enlightened and cultured professional teacher. This is the main task that the state sets for a contemporary educator-teacher in modern society.

The reputation of an educator-teacher is based not only on their professional training, but also on their real pedagogical gifts and skills. The reorganization of the national educational system and emparting a more humanistic character to it are believed to facilitate the work of an educator-teacher in order to bring up people worthy of the Motherland and humanity, in one word – decent citizens.

The key role in this work is assigned to an educator-teacher who is expected to create kind, happy and unique relationships with learners, exert human wisdom and use their life experience. That is why personal traits of an educator-teacher, who is viewed as an architect of the creative human heart, are one of the major factors in enhancing humanistic feelings in children.
