Introductory Course in Pedagogy. Guide. 1950

Each of us knows that pedagogy is the science of education. But not everyone can immediately answer questions about what goals and tasks this science sets for teachers and parents, what methods and techniques it suggests using, and what results... it strives for. The book by M. T. Smirnov, a Soviet scientist and educator, invites us to immerse ourselves in the world of pedagogy and makes this complex science close and understandable to everyone who seeks to raise a child as a harmonious personality.
The book is intended for elementary school teachers and parents, as well as for kindergarten educators, since a significant part of it is dedicated to children of preschool and pre-preschool age.
