POSITIVE EDUCATION — THE AXIOM OF CONTEMPORARY UPBRINGING AND EDUCATION
appropriateness. An individual approach to the student and respect for his
learning style will ensure success for the educator, which will result from his
learning, education and upbringing process. Up to 909 of the interviewed
teachers respect an important element of positive education, which is the ac¬
ceptance of the strengths of the students personality, thereby supporting the
development of his individuality. Representatives of positive psychology conceive
a basic element in their theories such as Seligman (2012) — on happiness and
well-being, Csikszentmihalyi (2015) — on flow, and Goleman (2017) — on socio¬

share the joy of work, which includes the certainty of freedom, and acceptance
of independence. Based on the theory of Fredrickson (2011), 61.67% of perceived
positive emotions are insufficient for an optimistic creative working climate
of teachers in the pedagogical corps. Based on the mentioned fact, it is neces¬
sary to prepare trainee teachers for effective teamwork, and cooperation with
psychologists, special educators and other experts in pedagogical practice as
part of undergraduate training.
b) Within the framework of education, I respect and follow the rules of the
