THE ROLE OF MODERN PEDAGOGY IN THE FORMATION OF SCHOOL STUDENTS’ PERSONALITY

Abstract. This article discusses the role of pedagogy in society and human life, as well as its significance within the modern education system. It is emphasized that pedagogy is not limited to the transmission of knowledge; it also contributes to the formation of students’ personalities, the development of moral values, and the enhancement of social skills. In the contemporary period, the application of innovative methods, interactive teaching techniques, and student-centered approaches in pedagogy makes the learning process more effective.

The article particularly highlights the role of the school in shaping students’ personalities. It explains the importance of cooperation among teachers, schools, and parents, as well as the necessity of age-appropriate, gradual supervision and guidance for students. The impact of the teacher’s individual approach and the establishment of teacher–student relationships based on mutual respect and understanding on the quality of education is also noted. Furthermore, a comparison is made between the traditional teacher–student model of the past century and the modern, more democratic and collaboration-based model.

In addition, attention is given to the development of students’ communication skills and the psychological changes associated with different age stages. Overall, the article presents the contemporary directions of pedagogical development and outlines the role of the school in the comprehensive development of students.
