education: implementation of the basic models in practice
This article analyzes the definition of theoretical construct
"model", a typology of models in modern domestic pedagogy, reflective
of their structure and content to identify features of the implementation
models of education in practice.
"The model of education - formed by sign systems thinking analogues
(logical constructs) schematically showing the educational practices in general
or its fragments ". Models are divided into three types: a) descriptive,
giving an idea of mission, structure
, basic elements of educational practice ; b) functional, showing the formation
of the system of its links with the social environment ; c) prognostic giving
theoretically reasoned picture of the future state of educational practice. In
other words, the educational model - a theoretical construct that embodies the
understanding of the phenomenon of education and practical implementation of
this model.
In the educational model includes technologies, methodologies,
methodical system. Models are closely related to pedagogical theories,
concepts. The model includes: the structure of the educational model;
organizing training course; course content; organization model of group of
students; tests and inspections; management students; evaluation of the
learning process.
Theoretical modeling of the learning process may be carried out with the
help of epistemic and cognitive functions of the mark in the text. In this case,
both functions are aimed at cognition: decoding depth, revealing the genesis,
verification and assimilation of the text content . Hermeneutical approach ,
offering use of the mark as a unit formalization education opens up theoretical
and pedagogical thinking up new possibilities of scientific research.
Concept of
"sign" was originally limited to a region of natural language; with
the development of semiotics in its scope included almost all kinds of cultural
activities. The main requirement to sign ( regardless of the area of the text):
it should be clear to others; have the necessary social value; be included in
the process of cultural communication.
Mark (as a
structural unit of a language) is a form of storage of knowledge about reality
( epistemic function); means of gaining new knowledge ( cognitive or cognitive
function ) . Single character has a limited ability to perform these functions.
Text has limitless possibilities . "Text" in semiotics - a meaningful
sequence of any characters. Text can be viewed as a cultural phenomenon,
serving as a store of knowledge. Adhering to the semiotic approach , with
certain reservations system we assign different characters for languages. In
modern conditions the concept of "language" is applied to many forms
of human activity , " the language of art", " the language of
architecture", "dance language", "language of cinema",
etc.
Language is closely
related to thinking, providing design ideas and the exchange of information
between people. If the text - is a form of information storage, the language -
learning tool while breeding epistemic and epistemological functions between
the text and the language is rather arbitrary. Sign, text, language and thought
are substantial elements of consciousness, education and culture.
Semiotic approach
leads a person to a completely new and quite specific structure of behavior,
torpedoes tradition and natural development for the first time to create a new
form of cultural behavior. Culture begins with the invention sign an adult, and
education - with the use of this sign child. Thanks semiotic approach
consciousness teacher transferred to the logical top education.
Sign delineates the
border that connects education and culture. "Semiotics of Culture , by
definition YM Lotman - is not only that culture functions as a system of signs.
The attitude to the sign and signification is one of the main typological characteristics
of culture".
Category is a basic
text in the theoretical study of culture and its subsystems: "Culture in
general can be represented as a set of texts ; but from the perspective of the
researchers more accurate to speak of culture as a mechanism that creates a set
of texts and texts as on the implementation of culture " [ ibid.] Culture
and education initially identical , as their common genotype seems to text and
object of theoretical pedagogy is education as "semiosphera" as
"complexly structured text"
in the context of culture.
Educational,
thought process is carried out in the system of double coding: information is
made in the text by the same rules , then re-encoded and represented in the new
text. Reproduction of information - a complex process. Knowledge- oriented
learning involves reconstruction of pupil information in strict accordance with
the original; reproductive learning - the transformation of the educational
text according to the rules. A more complex type of training is focused on
getting new training tests. In intelligent educational system creates
conditions for the manifestation of creative independence and convert raw data
into new posts. Such forms of creative activity are essays, reports,
implementation of the project and its protection etc. This gives grounds to
consider learning as a whole as an intellectual activity.
Semiotic bipolarity children and adult consciousness represented in
subject -subject of the theoretical model of the educational process.
Educational text serves as a carrier of information, as it is a sign system and
has a language. The child's language is a fragmentary, associative spoken
language. Based on this, perhaps speak of a semiotic opposition text relative
to the child's consciousness. The student may work with text only in the
presence of high culture, sufficient education.
In - text subject - subject model of moving messages from the child's
consciousness in the semantic space of the text (and vice versa) is not
possible, but an education based on a system of educational texts, occurs. The
main merit of this process belongs to the teacher, his training. Teacher owns content
texts used in the classroom, in scientific terms, indicating that the professional
competence of the teacher, and from abstract theoretical positions - on the
formation of metalinguistic awareness.
Consider knowledge model / knowledge training in system integration
Intra. Education - the process of learning, formation of skills. Theoretical
modeling of the learning process is based on two provisions of the assignment
axiomatic development and learning. According to the model , the main
structural components of the learning process are: intentionality ,
recognition, recoding . In this pedagogical intentionality - is an active focus
on the consciousness of the student study text, due to the original unity of
consciousness and knowledge ( text). The process of recognition determines the
conditions under which the text can be recognizable student. Recoding gives access to the assimilation of new
knowledge.
The subject is an integrated system and is considered by us as a kind of
completed part of the learning process. Adequate understanding of the subject
as a differentiated system occurs within the boundaries of semiotics.
Educational discipline is represented as complexly text where different
subteksty interact and (corresponding to these subtekstam) languages. Important role in the
organization of the subject play continuous and discrete languages. Continual
languages correspond art,
discrete - science.
For our study, it is of interest Intrasubject integration. Intra
integration mechanisms can be of four types: a meta-language (language
teachers); Accentuation content (compound heterogeneous elements and the
creation of these holistic educational space); assignment rules of conduct (the
educational process is represented as a system of signs , as a text whose meaning
is clear); creolization learning languages (adaptation speech teacher to
pupil level thinking ). Semiotic heterogeneity and system integration mechanisms
- dialectical opposites, which is carried out through the educational process.
Integration of
education is characterized by three principles:
- Integration and
differentiation;
- Anthropocentrism;
-
Kulturosoobraznogo (educational texts within a certain range of the educational
system are in the same relationship where they are in the culture.)
The educational
system is congruent culture content and interconnection of educational texts.
Culture, according to YM Lotman, can be compared with semiosphere mechanisms
which provide intensive generation of new knowledge. The ability to create new
texts predetermines education, so it can also be regarded as semiosphere ,
adequate culture. Training texts are of no value in the scale of culture, but
significant for the process of personal spiritual growth student. These species
include written work (essays, essays), practical and creative work.
Tekstotvorchestvo is a way to develop student awareness, which can be regarded
as semiosphere included in the semiotic space of education and culture.
The genetic
similarity of education and culture is that both of these realities
historically derived from the text, and their existence is evident in the
extent to which they are able to create new texts. Education identically
culture. If the culture of a society - the method and form of spiritual interaction
of many people, the culture of education - a way to shape the development of
consciousness and personality. Educational and cultural identity is determined
by the principle of cultural conformity: culture has historically not exist to
education, and education logically and actually does not exist without culture.
Kulturosoobraznosti principle defines a common way of organizing education and
individual education systems. In the modern scientific principle expressed
kulturosoobraznogo.
Objective analysis
of concepts, models, education and training, developed pedagogical thought
directly affects the ideological and spiritual and moral problems of national
identity, cultural and historic identity, humanistic values for human cultures , the
formation of new forms of education (distance , e-learning).
Semiotic -
information model (V. Metzel) is based on an understanding of culture as a
fundamental principle, " infiltrating" all social practices in
society , and so is their communicative core. In this model, implemented the
concept of learning to articulate a vision of the existence of a plurality of
identities, discourses and subcultures which have the equal right to exist in a
multidimensional world. The emphasis is on the development of skills coding /
decoding images arising in a particular cultural situation (especially in the
context of the emergence of mediatizirovannoy culture) through the use of
continuous and discrete languages.
Investment process
model (S. Haider) describes personality resources affecting her creative process:
intelligence, knowledge, thinking style, ability, motivation. Personality is
surrounded by views of the sixth resources - context. Joint harping on these factors
stimulates creativity manifestations. Initiation depends on the resources and
on the application of appropriate techniques and methods . An indication that
the process of performance, is a creative product created by learners.
