THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION MYTH (ON THE ISSUE OF THE SOCIETY’S SELF-DETERMINATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF FUTURE)

Abstract.

The article is devoted to the problem of self-determination of the society in the era of postmodernism, the perception of modernity as a transitional period and the formation of the image of the future, which influences the development strategy of society today. The article criticizes the concept of the «digital revolution». Analysis of the changes taking place in the society allows us to conclude that the development of modern technologies is a continuation of the scientific and technological revolution of the mid-twentieth century, but not the beginning of a fundamentally new phase of the technological development.

J. A. KOMENSKY’S “PHYSICS”: A BLIND-SPOT IN THE MODERN COMENIOLOGY

Abstract.

The article is devoted to the study of Komensky’s textbook “Physics” in the context of the philosophy of doubt and hope, developed in the works of V.-J. Dieterich and A. Lischewsky’s that defined one of the directions of the methodology of modern comenological research. Called to overcome the traditional perception of Komensky exclusively as a didactician, this methodology promotes the identification of trinity and multidimensionality – the basic principles of the idea of pansophy – in the content and structure of “Physics”. In the context of the metaphysical tradition of parallel reading of the textbook and the Holy Scripture, the author analyzes the development of the method that allows to build  on a common foundation the order of cognition of things in the material and spiritual world, to unite knowledge about God, nature and man into an integrated system. “Physics” is not considered in the traditional historical and scientific context, but in the historical and pedagogical aspect. The article uses the heuristic method of working with the historical and pedagogical source, based on the methodology of Komensky himself, according to which the “heuristic” level to pansophic wisdom is the “crown of knowledge”. Accordingly, the article outlines some areas of actual comeniological research in the context of the philosophy of doubt and hope. 

Keywords:

Jan Amos Komensky, “Physics”, A. Lishevsky, philosophy of doubt and hope, pansophy, methodology, trinity, multidimensionality, integrity.

Abstract.

The authors disclose the various factors of globalization influence on the cultural and institutional diversity in the system of higher education: the influx of new intellectual forces (brain gain), the growth of the need for programs and modules in different languages, the strengthening of competition between universities, their struggle for the right to be the leading universities of the country. The authors note that decrease in the number of applicants due to the demographic situation helps transform Russian universities into multicultural pluralistic organizations that attract different target groups of students (persons with disabilities, ethnic minorities, international students, etc.). Institutional diversity is promoted by the formation of various groups of leading universities in Russia: universities with special status, federal, national research universities, etc. The article pays particular attention to a new group of leading universities – regional flagship universities whose main task is to promote the effective development of regions by creatingtheir own innovative and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION IN THE ACTIVITIES OF EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS:
PARENTS’ AND SCHOOL HEADS’ ASSESSMENT

Vachkov Igor V., Vachkova Svetlana N.

Abstract.

The article presents the results of the study held in 74 regions of the Russian Federation, the purpose of which was to study the assessment of the heads of educational institutions and parents (legal representatives) of the degree of public participation in the activities of educational institutions. The sample consisted of 2,471 heads of the educational organization and 4,565 parents. It turned out that there are statistically significant differences in three main parameters - the frequency of appeals to parents by the educational organization on certain issues, the accounting of their opinions in the activities of the educational organization and satisfaction with the methods of education and upbringing in the educational organization. Parents assess the extent of their participation in the activities of educational institutions more critically than the heads of the schools and demonstrate the readiness to be involved. Heads of the schools consider the measure of parents’ participation sufficient, not trusting the level of their competence in the educational process.

THE PROBLEM OF UPDATING THE CONTENT OF HIGHER EDUCATION
IN THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Leskova Inna A.

Abstract.

The article considers a number of factors that hinder the solution of the problem of updating the content of higher education. The main attention is paid to the consideration of this problem in its relationship with the humanitarian-anthropological dimension of education, which directly depends on the anthropological format of the person asked by the state. However, at the present moment this format is distinguished by value uncertainty, since the modern socio-cultural reality is determined by value different and at the same time coexisting anthropological models of man («manipulative man», «man of culture»). This is due to the uncertainty of the anthropological dimension of modern education, which is considered in the article as a factor hindering the solution of the problem of updating the content of higher education. It is shown that the actual and projected qualitative characteristics of the content of education are determined by the simultaneous action of two models  of educational relations – market-oriented and human-sized. The article gives a brief description of the model of subject-centered content of higher education, the construction of which requires the subject’s position of the student and cannot be adequately learned otherwise. This allows it to act as a factor in solving the problem of renewing the content of higher education, to promote the formation of a human dimension model of educational relations and the emergence of a higher school from the state of crisis. 

Keywords:

anthropological dimension of education, content of higher education, human dimension, model of educational relations, subject-orientation.

MODEL OF PEDAGOGICAL SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS’ VOLUNTEER ACTIVITY

Averkina Irina L., Avchinnikova Svetlana O.

Abstract.

The article presents a structural and content model of the pedagogical support of students’ volunteer activity in a university as part of the conceptual and purposeful, subjective and functional, substantive and procedural, instrumental and methodological, criterial and productive components. Development of students’ volunteer activity in the interests of the individual and society requires scientifically based pedagogical participation. In the description of the model, theoretical grounds (systemic, axiological, activity, subjective and environment approaches), target guidelines, the principles of pedagogical support (strengthening of altruistic motivation, subjectivity and self-actualization,  empathy, cooperation and ethical responsibility, complexity, continuity and continuity) are disclosed; the main participants of pedagogical support are defined: volunteer, volunteer group, voluntary programs coordinator, teacher and tutor, psychologist and supervisor and their roles; the functions of pedagogical support (diagnostic, motivation orienting, prognostic and planning, educational, advisory, facilitation, normative and analytical) are designated. Characteristics of the main components of personal and professional readiness of the volunteer are given: value and motivational, praxeological, mobilization and reflexive, as well as the stages of its forming: orienting and adaptive, subjective and activity, actualization and leadership. The most suitable for each stage forms and methods of pedagogical support are systematized, including traditional and innovative forms of pedagogical process organization and modern trends in personnel management. Social project activity is determined as the main method of pedagogical support of volunteering. Criteria for the effectiveness of pedagogical support are based on two levels – personal (motivational, competence, regulatory) and group organizational (scale of volunteer activity, quality and intensity, methodological support of the volunteer activity, popularity of the voluntary activity), indicators are given for each criterion. The presented model captures the most significant aspects of the maintenance process, allows it to be reproduced in mass practice, and in this connection acts as an effective means of improving educational work in the university.

PEDAGOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF GIFTEDNESS DEVELOPMENT BY MEANS
OF TRADITIONAL MUSIC OF PEOPLES OF THE WORLD

Ovchinnikova Julia S.

Abstract.

The article is focused on the authorial pedagogical technology of giftedness development by means of traditional music of peoples of the world and to analysis of personal changes of inner world, connected with actualization of students’ creativity during the process of education. Theoretical foundation of the actual research is based on works of Dr. A. A. Melik-Pashayev, where giftedness is regarded not as quality of special people, but as characteristics of each person that manifests capacity for creativity. In the article theoretical foundations of hypothesis, pedagogical objectives, conditions, principals and methods of organization of musical workshops are regarded. The analysis of data of pedagogical experiment allows to conclude about the development in students of their  general musical giftedness. All participants of the experiment mastered their skills in solo and joint play on simple ethnic instruments, developed their emotional sensitivity to music, gained active co-experience of music as the process of sensemaking. The results of the reflexive self-report of students showed that actualization of the “inner energy of soul”, of the personal creative element, goes beyond one kind of activity – in this context, musical – and leads to system changes embracing different aspects of the personal inner word, of their  general musical giftedness.
