Monologism in education is understood as the transfer of socio-cultural knowledge without taking into account the learner.

The second type of education is dialogic, based on the dialogue, contact with other people, the ability to listen to and hear another person, the ability to be open to the Other person. It is a road to cognition, the development of such personal “navigation” skills as goal-setting, dialogue, reflexivity, creativity, cognition.
