Wasted opportunity: Trends and changes of social pedagogy in the environment of the Department of Social Education, Faculty of Education, Masaryk University

Summary/Abstract: Those interested in the field of study of social pedagogy at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University in Brno have been able to apply since 1998, and since then, these fields, called study programmes today, have undergone a relatively significant transformation. There have been challenges from different eras, and the Department of Social Pedagogy (hereinafter the Department) has tried to tackle these challenges and respond to them responsibly. There have been challenges related to the development of society, to democratic processes, to complex social problems and the associated requirements for new professions, to a new concept of content, and even to forms or methods of teaching. It needs to be said that a very creative team has met at the Department, who has felt the need to remove various basic and introductory courses of so-called traditional subjects (pedagogy, methodology, psychology, leisure pedagogy, social work) from the education of social pedagogues, and to boldly step forward to what the profession of a social pedagogue represents.
