HERMENEUTICS IN PEDAGOGY

Abstract

The article talks about the role of hermeneutics in the educational process carried out in a modern university. Its study is based on the analysis of works of Russian and foreign philosophers. In order to fully disclose the topic, the essential characteristic of the term “meaning – value” is given. Then the most essential principles of it are determined. The general rules, levels and methods of understanding are formulated, the implementation of which will contribute to the best assimilation of the meaning of the text by the student. A study of the educational practice of hermeneutics has revealed that understanding is a pedagogical process through which all available knowledge about the world is understood, as a result of which a new “one’s own” knowledge is born. A better understanding arises because the interpreter, without having “direct knowledge” of the intentions of the initiator of the speech, is forced to strive to realize much that remains unclear to him.
