Structure of pedagogical science: traditions and innovations

Pedagogy, like any other science, develops, enriches its theoretical base, fills the practical part with new content. The system and structure of pedagogical science, which consists of a large number of different branches and sections, has developed and continues to improve. Consider them in order.

The basic discipline, which the structure of pedagogical science puts at the center of the matter , is general pedagogy. She explores the general patterns of education and training and includes sections: introduction to the profession of a teacher, the general foundations of science, the theory of education, didactics, the theory of management of educational and educational processes, the methodology of pedagogy, as well as the history and philosophical foundations of science.

Further the list continues age pedagogics, which subject of studying is educational process depending on an age category of the person. In turn, age pedagogy consists of such sections as perinatal, nursery, preschool, school, professional and pedagogy of higher education. Recently, the system and structure of pedagogical science in terms of age has been supplemented with new sections. This is androgyny and pedagogy of the third age, which the subject of study chose the educational and educational process of pensioners.

The structure of pedagogical science assigns an important place to special pedagogy, which is otherwise called defectology or correctional science. It has 4 large sections. This is surdopedagogy, typhlopedagogics, oligophrenopedagogics and speech therapy.

Among the major pedagogical branches, the structure of pedagogical science emphasizes professional pedagogy. Its main object of study is an educational and educational process that focuses on a specific sphere of production and training of specialists for a particular field of human activity. There are industrial, military, medical and other types of sciences in this field.

The structure of pedagogical science pays much attention to a relatively new science - social science. It is designed to help people and especially children correctly go through the process of socialization of the individual and mainly develops extracurricular methods of education and upbringing.

Further, we briefly enumerate and characterize the remaining sections: medical, family, gender (corrective behavior of the child depending on gender), ethno-pedagogy, correctional labor, teaching methods of various subjects and comparative pedagogical science (compares pedagogical schools of different countries and peoples, and As well as the identification of the best aspects of foreign systems of upbringing and education for use in the national school).

The functioning of pedagogy would be inadequate if there was no special infrastructure for pedagogical science. It includes:

1. Legal conditions. These are state decrees and resolutions, as well as documents that determine the policy of the state in this sphere. Among the main: the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the Law on Education of the Russian Federation.
2. Economic conditions, which are represented by all property, including real estate, vehicles and technical equipment, located in pedagogical organizations.
3. Personnel conditions, consisting of a contingent of specialists and researchers involved in education and upbringing.
4. Scientific institutions, whose center is the Russian Academy of Education.
5. Libraries and other information carriers, among which the famous Library named after K.D.Ushinsky in Moscow deserved renown.

And the infrastructure of pedagogical science is closing with the connection with the world centers dealing with education, which consists in the mutual exchange of information with foreign colleagues.
