Katane, I. (Latvia Univ. of Agriculture, Jelgava (Latvia))
The author of this publication offers to analyse and appraise development problems of a pupil's personality in pedagogical environment. This ensures respect for the holistic principle in scientific investigation. Pupil's qualities of personality, its structure and advance, dynamics of development, in the author's opinion, are necessary to be investigated not only in different separate spheres of their activity and manifestation, but in a unity determined by the holistic principle in pedagogy. The development of a personality takes place through interaction with the environment. The aim of the publication is to present a characteristic of interaction between a pupil's personality and rural school as a pedagogical environment in the context of topicality, contradictions, tendencies and problems in today's education.
