The Basics of Humane Pedagogy. Book 1. Where Are You, My Smile?

All of Sh.A. Amonashvili's life and work are dedicated to the development of classical ideas of humane pedagogy, affirming the concept of 'spiritual humanism' in pedagogical consciousness. This publication

of the author's collected works in 20 books under the general title 'The Basics of Humane Pedagogy' is carried out by the decision of the Scientific and Publishing Council of the Russian Academy of Education. In individual books, psychological-pedagogical and literary creations are grouped by content. The first two books of 'The Basics of Humane Pedagogy' practically encompass nine books. They introduce the reader to the romantic world of the humane educational temple but point out the pitfalls that authoritarian pedagogical consciousness stumbles upon. These first books of Sh.A. Amonashvili, like the entire publication, are addressed to a wide audience — teachers, educators, education workers, parents, students, and scholars.
