Abstract
Pedagogy of everyday life is a traditional pedagogy, focused on the current level of development. In other words, the pedagogy of everyday life is pedagogy of yesterday. It blocks the capacity of the mental development of children. The reason for this is, above all, that it underestimates the adult content offered by the child, making it more affordable especially since adults do not believe in the educational opportunities for preschool children. Within the educational process the child continues to live within the boundaries of the everyday world that is divided and sorted by means of pedagogical methods. However, the preschool is open to the development of potentially the entire spectrum of basic human abilities.
Pedagogy opposed to the everyday education is built in the logic of expanding children’s opportunities, the development of amplification. Author discusses a striking example of empowering pedagogy – a unique system of training and education of deaf-blind children, created by I.A.Sokolyansky and A.I.Meshcheryakov.
