Humanitarization of Education: Humanitarian-Based Teaching of Academic Disciplines

Abstract

The article considers the concepts of such educational principles as “humanization” and “humanitarization” which are closely related. Humanization is filling the entire educational process with humanistic ideas and meanings in any educational institution. The principle of humanization is realized through the humanitarization of education which aims to educate a freely and creatively thinking and harmoniously developing personality. To implement these principles, first of all, humanitarian-based teaching of academic disciplines is necessary. This process is not conceivable without a teacher who needs a humanitarian vector in personal and professional development. On the example of the academic discipline “Foreign Language”, the process of humanitarian-based teaching at the university is shown and its criteria are developed. The results of this study can be applied by teachers and teachers of various academic disciplines.
