WISDOM AS AN ETHICAL GOAL IN THE PROFESSIONAL ROLE OF A PEDAGOGUE

Summary/Abstract: Introduction: The topic of the article concerns the category of wisdom from the perspectiveof the role it plays in the profession of a pedagogue. Wisdom was presented as the objective ofprofessional development, with particular emphasis on its ethically non-neutral nature. Theanalyses of the wisdom category were related to the broader axiological context and the percep-tion of wisdom through the ethical prism of good.Research Aim: The aim of the research is to pay special attention to the place and role of wis-dom in the education of pedagogues, and not only its importance as an objective in the educa-tional process. The idea is to show the ethical side of what wisdom is and what benefits wouldcome from promoting the approximative nature of developing wisdom. Moreover, the emphasisin the text is on the conversion of knowledge into values and the phenomenon of axiologicalinternalization as a key process in shaping the reflective, autonomous and responsible attitudeof a wise pedagogue.Evidence-based Facts: The article refers to, in an interdisciplinary way, the views of researcherswho particularly emphasize the importance of wisdom for human development. In the pre-sented analyses, the Socratic vision of wisdom, closely related to good, was particularly highli-ghted. The text also emphasizes that in preparing pedagogues for their profession, the categoryof wisdom should play a particularly significant role due to the fact that ethical tasks in thisprofession go beyond knowledge or qualifications.Summary: The close connection between wisdom and good cannot leave one indifferent tothe place and importance of the category of wisdom in the process of preparing pedagoguesfor their profession. Wisdom brings with it an ethical objective and emphasizes the axiologicalcontext of pedagogical work, which is not free from normative meanings. Moral competencesare therefore an integral part of training for the professional role of a pedagogue.
