Subjectivity in education in the sense of personalization

Abstract

Although the inclusion of the subjectivity of an individual seems to be the principle of education today, the term “subjectivity” is differently understood, what establishes contradictory models of education.It happens so in the situations of influential and contrary models of subjectivity, presented by widely understood anti-pedagogy and Catholic personalism, which ascribe to it a strong connotation. The analysis of this problem in this article will determine the reflection on the understanding of subjectivity and the characteristics of postmodernity, especially personalism in this context. The aim of this article is to demonstrate that personalism not only protects the subjectivity of the pupil, but also doesn’t give up education as it happens in anti-pedagogics. The role of personalistic education is in no case to underestimate the subjectivity of young people, but to support the process of preferences and to affirm their proper hierarchy of values, without which their fullness of humanity will not materialize.
