“Creativity – it means to dig deeper, to watch better, to dive into the depths, to pass through walls, to light the sun, to build a castle in the sand, to welcome the future”.

Andragogy is the Art and Science of Adults’ Training
“Formal education will make you a living;
self-education will make you a fortune.
Jim Rohn
Speaking about education, the first thing that comes to mind is pedagogy. However, today conversations about education mean adults’ training. Studies conducted by Knowles showed that teaching methods are not effective in learning such category of “students”.

Do You Know How Should Modern Lesson Look Like?
I cannot teach anybody anything; I can only make them think.
Socrates
As you know, the lesson is the form of implementation of pedagogical interactions, where the student-teacher communication takes place. According to the results of lessons pedagogical skills of the teacher and the qualifications of the student are judged. Therefore the lesson is a card of each teacher. Each lesson is a complex system, all components are connected, and it is a holistic educational process. During a lesson the knowledge and boredom, captured thoughts and dangerous idleness of students can appear every minute. The value and significance of these minutes, hours, days, and years in the life of a teacher is determined by modern lesson.
