Daftar Isi: Autonomy and Responsibility in Education

Daftar Isi:

Autonomy and responsibility in education is an operational pedagogical concept derived from the fundamental pedagogical concepts that define the pedagogical norm and the outcomes of the system and of the educational process. At this level we need to highlight the double significance of the concept, establishing its reference sphere epistemologically and operationally: a) normative – autonomy implies responsibility in education, which concentrates axiologically on a set of imperatives, categorical (axioms and laws of education) and hypothetical (principles of education/training) ones; b) teleological - autonomy is involved in defining the ideal of education – an autonomous and innovative personality – which is made responsible in the long run and in a global, social, and psychological sense. Due to its importance, autonomy in education tends to become the specific object of study for a new applied education science, Pedagogy of Autonomy, built methodologically by capitalizing on special intradisciplinary (which involve a coordination with fundamental pedagogical sciences: general theory of education, general didactics, general curriculum theory) and interdisciplinary (involving reporting on the sociology of education/education policy and the management of education/school management) research resources.
