The conference participants came together once again not only to pay tribute to the memory of this remarkable scholar but also to reflect on his scientific contributions and draw conclusions aimed at continuing the work to which Ivan Andriyovych devoted his entire life.
Alla Vasylivna joined the scientific discussion together with leading researchers, educators, and followers of I. A. Zyazyun’s ideas. In her speech on the topic “Ivan Andriyovych Zyazyun’s pedagogy of goodness – a stimulus for positive motivation of scientists to preserve and develop Ukrainian science in conditions of uncertainty”, she highlighted the current aspects of the development of pedagogy and professional education in the context of modern challenges, emphasizing the importance of the humanistic guidelines laid down in the works of the academician.
The conference brought together representatives of the academic community from Ukraine, Romania, Moldova, Latvia, and Turkmenistan. Participants discussed the values, ideas, and philosophical principles that form the basis of contemporary pedagogical thought, and shared their experiences of implementing these ideas in educational practice.
Among the guests of honor and speakers were researchers from leading Ukrainian and foreign higher education institutions, academicians, professors, colleagues, and students of Ivan Andriyovych. Their speeches confirmed the relevance of humanistic approaches in education even in difficult times of military challenges.
The ideas of Academician Zyazyun continue to live on in the work of contemporary scientists, educators, and educational leaders. As the participants of the event emphasized, these ideas teach us humanity, kindness, responsibility, justice, and continuous personal development.
The conference materials will be published in the electronic repository of NTU “KhPI”.
