VL - 16 IS - 1 SE - Reviews DO - UR - https://philosopheducation.com/index.php/philed/article/view/538 SP - 263-267 AB - <p>The basic ideas of the monograph “Philosophy of Didactics: Contexts, Strategies&nbsp;Practices” by S.O.Hanaba are examined in the article. The author presents&nbsp;the conceptual and of sociocultural model of philosophy of didactics as a new direction&nbsp;of study. The philosophical concept of didactics as a theory of learning in&nbsp;the context of new sociocultural and discursive practices is based on such positions: understanding the educational space as an open, complex, rhizomatic system&nbsp;which is in the process of self-transformation and self-becoming; recognition&nbsp;the knowledge as a source of personal transformation; understanding a human as&nbsp;a complex, communicative, competent personality, which is capable to transform&nbsp;himself/herself in the “space of flows” and “timeless time” (M. Castells); understanding&nbsp;of education as a space of freedom; recognition of the inherent value of&nbsp;personal experience and life practice.&nbsp;The possible directions of didactics reorientation are proposed in the book.&nbsp;Among them are: the orientation on constructive and creative approach to learning; overcoming authoritarian style of teaching and transition to interactive collaboration&nbsp;in learning; use of a set of open, non-linear teaching methods aimed at&nbsp;developing and transformation of personality; rethinking an individual existing life&nbsp;experience and worldview orientation; recognizing the communicative nature of&nbsp;education, personality and knowledge&nbsp;</p> ER -
