Ecological and cultural safety of education as basis of providing a sustainable development of the world

 

Survival of mankind in the modern world is connected with a solution of the problem of continuous positive development of the society, that number of concerning its such many-sided aspect as what ecological safety acts. In Russia the rating of environmental problems in recent years considerably decreased. It is caused by that in modern real life of the Russian society economic and social factors level environmental problems. From here underestimation by society of importance of the solution of these problems in all spheres of activity of the person as one of the main conditions of a sustainable development of society.

That the mankind is involved in ecological crisis of global scale, became already admitted fact. We badly imagine what will be future society, and have to form very carefully strategy of its development, N. N. Moiseyev notes. But one we know for certain - only rather educated society will be capable to overcome those difficulties, which any more only on the horizon: breath of approaching trouble is felt on all planet. That is why education, formation of the complete thinking, capable to affect system of modern values, is a foremost task of domestic school of sciences. This way will be difficult as will demand reorganization of society, education of new morals, moral.

Dependence of activity of the person on environment and technosphere at the same time in many respects defines priorities of development of society of the XXI century, influences culture evolution. Only the science and a corresponding education level of the population can answer a question: how to keep balance how to save the world from collapse. We share the point of view of I.N.Shvanyova that the people possessing necessary properties of psychologically steady personality can give the answer to this question, i.e. her structural parameters (the mental nature), a physiological optimality (physical health), social properties – spirituality and creativity.

The main cause of destruction of consciousness of our society is that the withdrawal pains of socioeconomic way, a political system pass without a special cultural and historical Russian factor, an originality of its development, features of a spiritual genofund of the people. In this context the concept "culture" we consider as set of norms and the rules regulating any forms of activity of people, as installation of consciousness of people that their interests and requirements have to be satisfied not in any ways however they were utilitarianly effective but only accepted for the nature, society and the person on the consequences and the price. From a culture position, the purpose not always justifies means. From here the special role of culture is represented as historically saved up bank of socially acceptable means of satisfaction of human wants, and also evolutionarily mastered stages of harmonization of communications of people with the world.

It is known that prospect of development of any society, т.ч. and Russian, depends on how it prepares younger generation for independent life and activity in education, education, creation of conditions for integration into the social device and its further transformation; what purposes will be chosen for themselves by her young citizens, and what ways of achievement of these purposes they will plan.

Proceeding from it, the developing in world community natural, socioeconomic, cultural relations in the XXI century testify that fast turns are gathered by a new phase of development of a civilization in which the person will feel safely.

The identity of safe type is the person realizing, high sense of the activity, the mission, seeking to live in a consent with itself, the surrounding nature, harmoniously combining the active creative beginning with counteraction to the evil and life preservation on Earth and in the Universe, ready to the most resolute actions for the sake of high ideals of protection of the Fatherland respecting the history and traditions of the Homeland.

Education, according to V.A.Sidorkin, has to become a key link in formation of the identity of the "safe" type focused on creation and development of society and realizing need and value of the life and health. Among paramount problems of training the author sees formation at the teenager of the responsible relation to safe activity and health of the person in general.

From our point of view ecological and cultural safe education of the young man is connected with formation level in it the spiritual beginning being primordial and natural measurement of human mentality, having idea about own picture of the world. Emasculation of the spiritual beginning, absence of the spiritual and moral program on education of younger generation led domestic school to increase of number of emotional and psychosomatic diseases: symptoms of frustration of mood, violation of structure of hierarchy of motives, mysleobrazovaniye violation, violation of criticality and спонтанностъ behavior of its participants. At public level the unichizheniye truly ideal in a cultural heritage, leads to leveling of cultural wealth, including historically developed at each people, to destruction of the life on our planet.

Spirituality is the most important factor of existence of a civilization, opening of new forms of the public life corresponding to changed living conditions. During evolutionary development human community, unconsciously protecting itself from the evil, established a ban which were embodied in cultural customs. These customs became unconscious congenital motives of such forms of emotions as love, interest, care, kindness, bravery. Genetic memory of preservation of cultural features of each people in the course of evolution of human society was fixed in development of moral standards and formation of system of values.

Ideal always acted as criterion of those transformations of reality which happened in evolutionary process of theoretical and practical activities of people on Earth. The similar condition in the person gained relative independence, became the active beginning of its safe activity. Understanding in itself the spiritual beginning promoted that, the person could estimate critically results of own transformation of the nature, and also create culture (instruments of labor, art, religion, moral). In formation of world culture of viability of the person the system of values which each specific personality appropriated in the development as a basis of safe existence in society began to develop. Formation of spiritual needs of the personality always was the most important problem of education of younger generation.

Thus, education of spirituality turns into education of the personality in intellectual, social, cultural and physical aspects. But at all aspiration to a full development of the personality always it is necessary to remember her hierarchy, presence of truly spiritual beginning dominating over all other qualities of the personality, domestic scientists (N. V. Maslov, E.I.Sukhova, I.N.Shvanyova, etc.) note.

In this regard studying of the identity of pupils has to be based on the integrated approach considering various factors, influencing her development. Complete idea of the identity of pupils is a basis of productive activity of the teacher on formation of identity of pupils and to creation of the conditions providing development of creative potential of each school student. The appeal to personal experience of the pupil and natural biorhythms of a human body gives reduction of time of studying of any subject several times, releases resources of health of the pupil, leads to economy of material and financial inputs and gives the chance to increase efficiency of acquisition of knowledge and abilities in as much time.

However, in domestic standard educational process features of mentality of a cultural heritage of our society, individual opportunities of pupils and the teacher on abilities of comfortable perception of each other aren't always considered. Capable children, about I.N.Shvanyova's positions, whose real achievements are lower than their opportunities, endure serious problems in the personal and emotional sphere, and also in the sphere of the interpersonal relations. Creatives experience discrimination at school because of orientation of training on levopolusharny, introduced of the Western cultures, the technocratic approaches, the unified programs, prevalence of a rigid regulation of behavior, the relation of teachers. Resistance of creatives to reproductive works, their big sensitivity to the monotonian Period is regarded as obstinacy, laziness, nonsense. Thus, development of the creativity which is defined by flexibility of thinking, originality and generating of new ideas, imagination, the non-standard solution of tasks, ease of associations is suppressed.

In norm, in process of development, the mentality of the person has to get the increasing integrity, stability, constancy as by means of compensation, replacements are filled those functions which are still insufficiently developed. This mechanism is connected with external feature of nervous system – plasticity. Plasticity underlies creativity and is the richest possibility of purposeful change of mentality of the person in the conditions of training and education, and also compensation of weakness or defectiveness of development. However, in practice, the mentality of the graduate of comprehensive school often differs extreme instability, unbalance, owing to what lack of natural, harmonious transition to the next step of the social development.

Therefore in education we connect ecological and cultural safety with ability of self-realization being trained in creativity as as opportunity like social behavior of the person realizing into action fruits of active imagination, alternative to which the adaptive behavior and mental degradation acts. The adaptation choice, according to D.A.Leontyev, is refusal of changes, leaving of uncertainty, a choice of the clear, familiar past, and the choice of self-realization is a step forward, a future choice: difficult, inconsistent, with the take-off and falling.

Creative approach in education is in the best way realized in the course of research activity which can be considered as a basis of development of creative potential being trained and a psychotherapeutic way of prevention of a depression, uneasiness and aggression - the major factors interfering creative self-expression of the young man.

Pupils with high level of uneasiness react even to standard information loading mainly defensive reactions owing to what they have as a whole a negative motivation to study or to separate subjects, and extreme requirements in training programs not seldom lead to suppression of the identity of school students and in this case it is possible to tell that progress isn't an adequate indicator of their abilities.

As it is strange, but the main contradiction of a modern education system is declaration of the high humane purposes, unfortunately, only on paper and impossibility effectively to work in the direction of movement to them. One of the principles, helping to resolve this contradiction is use of the potential intellectual safety based on the all-system principles, most important of which in this case: nature conformity, kulturosoobraznost, self-organization of information and invariancy.

In the course of training taking into account age, individual readiness, abilities the pupil offers to treat the first information received by them, instead of after the teacher and by that to the first place there is a formation of "uchastny thinking" as individual experience of knowledge (M.M.Bakhtin). It is represented to us at the present stage of a development of education important that the teacher was able to learn to think, and it means that he has to learn to notice the thoughts: as they are born as they can be transformed as to operate them.

Natural safety from overloads, information alien and unnecessary the pupil, from pressure of teachers and authorities, safety from the wrong courses and ways, from hit in an extreme of painful hobbies and sectarianism becomes successful realization of this principle.

Today we rely not on "pure" science, and on knowledge which gives scientific and practical perception of Cheloveka-Prirody-Obshchestva. Flexibility of thinking and understanding of it provides with figures of education acceleration of process of transition of scientific knowledge in collective consciousness. And here a secret of social, technological and cultural break in the future – to the reason sphere.

The successful solution of the problem of ecological and cultural safety of education as bases of providing a sustainable development of the world is based on V.I.Vernadsky's doctrine about a noosphere, i.e. the sphere of domination of reason of the person. This doctrine assumes that people as carriers of intelligence are urged to assume responsibility for a further course of evolution on Earth, to make it operated. Time when the mankind has to assume reasonable regulation of the interconnected processes on Earth, already came. Is inadmissible to postpone the solution of the burning issue of providing a sustainable development of the world and unconditional health and safety of the person.
