Abstract
Starting from the contemporary determinants of changes in the field of mental operations, such as the transcultural nature of the world and neuroscientific concepts of mind (Francisco Varela, Daniel C. Dennett, Gilles Fauconnier, Mark Turner), the author shapes the foundations of mental didactics, recreates clues related to cognitive mechanisms in Polish language didactics (Maria Nagajowa, constructivism, new media), and continues to present such fields of teaching activity sensitive to shaping thinking as: interpretation, rhetoric, discursive manners and perceptual exercises, leading to the exposure of qualia. “Mental didactics” proposed in the article means integrated training of thinking, perception, attention and value system.
