Classical and Innovative Methods of Teaching Philosophy

The choice and development of methods and forms of teaching philosophy is crucial in the context of the transformation of the education system, the dynamics of generational changes in the perception of information. In these conditions, interactive, project-based, and creative forms of working with the audience are becoming more relevant. The purpose of the work is to present the experience of teaching philosophy, combining classical and innovative, including the author’s approaches related to working in student teams (groups), the use of the TED format in lecture streams, teaching skills of working with philosophical texts using the methodology of “free-writing”, etc. Against the background of diverse sources of information in the modern world, the focus of humanitarian and philosophical education is transformed from the transfer of ready-made knowledge to its joint search and development through active forms of interaction between teachers and students, teaching the skill of working with text. For the modern interactive learning model, taking into account the peculiarities of the modern generation of youth, the most effective forms of learning are those involving “vertical” and “horizontal” dialogue, communication in teams (groups), and intellectual heuristic game practices. The article presents the theoretical foundations of dialogical, interactive philosophy teaching, based on the principles of leadership, “equal teaches equal”, and demonstrates examples of practically proven methods that have shown their effectiveness.
