4. POSITIVE EDUCATION IN PEDAGOGICAL REALITY
creativity, adaptability and healthy self-confidence, internal motivation, and
ability to recognize their strengths and weaknesses. Success based on belief
in ones abilities and knowledge supports the students healthy self-confidence.
I experience positive emotions (joy, satisfaction) when my parents appreciate
my success
During using elements of positive psychology in pedagogical practice, teachers
must take into account the fteenage period" of adolescents, in which, accord¬
ing to Gáborová and Porubéanova (2017), young people present their opinions
and mistrust of the adult population is manifested. Nowadays, it is important
to lead adolescents to gratitude during their education. According to Konickova
(2019), gratitude fills students’ lives with joy. In the survey, up to 93% of re¬
spondents feel joy and satisfaction when they feel their parents’ recognition.
According to the respondents, family emotional ties are strong and they feel
gratitude. TamaSova and KuSnierikova (2018) highlight the importance of
emotional family bonds for the healthy emotional development of an indi¬
vidual.
More than 90% of high-school students understand success as living a happy, satisfy¬
ing life in the family circle, when they do what they are interested in, their life flows
according to their expectations, and they come closer to achieving the set objectives.
Based on the knowledge, skills, opinions and attitudes that they acquired in educa¬
tion, they have more self-confidence, and we can state that teachers lead adolescents
to understand, experience and accept success in life.
Interesting results are documented by the respondents’ statements, in which
they had to complete the sentence “When I’m at school I feel...”. The respond¬
ents supplemented the given statement with the presented emotions according
to their feelings toward the researcher. The statements were ranked from the
highest to the lowest point score. The results of the survey of respondents’
subjective feelings show the following.
