What is The Integral Pedagogy?

Abstract

The considerations hereby presented are an attempt to synthetically answer the question: What is the integral pedagogy? What is it in its essence and what is it as a field actually created by pedagogues? From the conducted analysis results that, in the sphere of assumptions, it coincides with pedagogy in general. The extremely difficult task of researching education in its complexity as well as its participants fully embracing their being in its integrity, assumed in this field, generates the need to constantly sensitize pedagogues to avoid traps of reductionism, to accept humanism as the foundation of their search. The authors of such sensibilizations, who at the same time strive for their realization, can be called representatives of integral pedagogy. It is created in various ways, but nevertheless requires a specific methodological behavior, open to the richness of the methods used, constantly expanding their range in order to get to know the educational processes and participating entities in to depth.
