INTEGRAL DEVELOPMENT AND EDUCATION OF THE CHILD IN CATHOLIC PEDAGOGY

Maria Loyola Opiela Logo ORCID

Abstract

The integral development and education of the person is at the heart of both theoretical reflection and pedagogical practice in Catholic education. Undertaken in all areas of the child’s development from an early age, it serves to form the foundation for the child’s entire life and personal perfection. At a time of dynamic socio-cultural changes and challenging events, increasing secularisation, it becomes necessary to improve the practice of early childhood education. In the harmonious promotion of the holistic development of the child and its orientation according to its innate potential and possibilities, it is very important to take into account religious and moral education using the liturgy and its initiatory dimension. This is possible by supporting the family through the use of theoretical foundations and a Catholic preschool pedagogy based on universal values and regularities of child development.
