Prerequisites
The aim of the course is to acquire theoretical knowledge of reflective learning (eg D. Kolb, K. Lewin, J. Dewey, J. Moon, Ch. Argyris, D. Schön, etc.) as a necessary basis for working with a group on various social events. Theoretical approaches will be discussed through constructivist theory, phenomenology, humanistics, etc. Upon completion of the course the students will be able to distinguish the key concepts (types of social groups, leadership, theory and practice of group work, group cohesion, dynamics, group roles, theory of cooperative teaching, theory of socio-cognitive conflict, socio-cognitive theory of A. Bandura) and apply them in practice. The focus of the subject will be on the communication structure of reflection (initiation, incitement, processing, monitoring, signal response). The key theme of the course is the process of learning in which individuals through reflection seek to transform themselves into new information and opportunities that represent potential personality development.
