THE IMPORTANCE OF PEDAGOGIC PROVISIONS OF “NAKHASHAVIGH” TEXTBOOK BY KH. ABOVYAN IN MODERN CONDITIONS OF TEACHING

Abstract

The article discusses the role of Kh. Abovyan’s “Nakhashavigh” textbook in Armenian school and pedagogy. Abovyan rejected the textbooks in Grabar and created manuals based on humanistic ideas. The educator worked out a new methodology: didactic, psychological and pedagogic system. According to Abovyan, the primary provision of pedagogy is lesson goal, choice of appropriate method, principles of teaching, content of lesson. The suggested provisions are among the priorities of modern educational system.  The comments dedicated to didactic principles are highly appreciated in Abovyan’s legacy and they haven’t lost their theoretical and practical value. In “Nakhashavigh” textbook the author paid much attention to the visibility as a didactic principle. According to the author, what is seen, felt gives content to the words and notions learnt.  Abovyan connects teaching the native language with developing in students the principle of consciousness and the ability of thinking on their own. He used the principle of consciousness in didactics. According to Abovyan, teaching native language is connected both with logics and activation of psychological processes.  Our goal is to apply Kh. Abovyan's leading pedagogical didactic principles in the modern education system which will contribute easy perception of academic material and use of modes by teacher.
