The Synthesis of Humanistic Pedagogy and Digital Communication: A New Methodological Approach

Abstract

This article examines the synthesis of humanistic pedagogy and digital communication as a new methodological approach in contemporary education. The rapid development of digital technologies, online platforms, social networks and virtual learning environments has significantly transformed the structure of pedagogical interaction. In this context, the traditional humanistic ideals of respect for personality, empathy, freedom, moral responsibility, dialogue and self-development must be reconsidered within the realities of digital communication. The article argues that the integration of humanistic pedagogy with digital communication creates a methodological basis for developing a learner-centered, value-oriented and socially responsible educational environment. The study is based on theoretical analysis, pedagogical generalization, comparative interpretation and conceptual modeling. The results show that the synthesis of these two areas makes it possible to strengthen students’ digital culture, ethical communication, critical thinking, reflective competence and human-centered use of technology. The article concludes that digital communication becomes pedagogically meaningful only when it is guided by humanistic values and directed toward the holistic development of the learner.
