Interests
- Pedagogic Problems of Higher Education.
- Optimisation of Curricula for Teaching in High School
- Human Management in Economics and Business Market.
My main interest has been in the theories and practical investigations
in the branch of pedagogic problems of higher education. The key variables that were
studied include input and total output in theoretical, methodological and methodical
problems of the high school pedagogy. Results obtained, as a logical consequence of
original investigations, include new scientific ideas such as integration pedagogy and
psychology, social psychology, behaviour in economics, communication sciences. The aim of
my research is to develop creative abilities in a changing society. Learning means
development and change. There are many aspects in the relations between change strategy
and educational content.
In methodological aspects, the object of my investigation is the
optimisation of curricula for teaching in high school by integration of the demands of
academic education and professional qualifications.
I have also carried out investigations in behavioural sciences for
human resources management in economics and business market. I am interested in the
relationship between culture and organisational success.
The humanitarisation of economical education should be a way out of the
situation in the business market. Psychology should establish new relations among personal
capacity and study content.
Keywords: didactic task; teaching content and structure; consumes
behaviour; vocational, methodological and social competence; business public relations;
strategy of cognitivity.
Languages: Latvian, English, Russian.
