Personal pedagogy as an answer to modern challenges of society and the world

Pedagogical science has a rich history and a huge heritage done by theorists and practitioners over the years and centuries of research. The study of the history of pedagogy gives modern scientists the opportunity to analyze the mistakes and achievements of previous generations. At the same time, the history, that is revealed to us in pedagogical works, materials from archives, modern scientific research, contains a foundation that allows us to respond effectively to the challenges of current days. Pedagogy as a science should reveal the patterns of organized activity in the formation of personality. Therefore, in each historical section, the demand for pedagogy will differ according to the demands for personality. Thus, in the history of European pedagogy, we confidently follow the path from the ideas of philosophers of antiquity (education of the mind, self-knowledge, etc.) to the modern search for answers to current questions (distance education, inclusive education, adult education, etc.)
