ONTOLOGICAL IRRATIONAL IN EARLY EASTERN PATRISTICS

Lyapustin A. G.                                          DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-9-19

Abstract. 

This article focuses on the emergence and development of the ontological irrational in early Eastern patristics, starting with the philosophy of Philo of Alexandria and ending with the theology of the great Cappadocians. The concept under study was realized in the understanding of God who was incomprehensible. The main emphasis is placed on the fact that His unknowability is connected not with the weakness of man’s rational abilities, but with the very nature of the Creator, which is hidden from us. Thus, a fundamentally new philosophical tradition was formed, which replaced the ancient ontological rational with the ontological irrational.

Keywords

ontological irrational, ontological rational, apophatic theology, Alexandrian school, neo-Arianism, Cappadocians.

REFLECTIVE PHILOSOPHY AS A WAY OF SELF-IDENTIFICATION:
R. DESCARTES – P. RICOEUR

Ivanova A. I., Arepyev E. I.                          DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-20-27

Abstract. 

The fundamental thesis «Ego cogito, ergo sum» by R. Descartes influenced the formation of the direction in philosophy, called reflective. Many researchers build their conclusions on the basis of the starting point – the assertion that a person is a thinking thing. The article examines the influence of the mentioned thesis by R. Descartes on the problem of human self-identification in the work by P. Ricoeur. The relevance of this approach in line with the modern philosophical anthropology, in the light of its interdisciplinary significance, is argued on the example of the ideas of P. Ricoeur’s. R. Descartes’ way of thinking is interpreted as a certain source which continues in the reflective philosophy of I. Kant, I. Fichte, E. Husserl and others. The study also deals with the problem of defining reflective philosophy, the examples reveal the essence of the reflective method of studying philosophical issues. In addition, the article proposes a discussion of how the Cartesian understanding of the thinking subject changes in the course of the evolution of philosophical knowledge – in the concepts of the listed thinkers. The fundamental difference between the understanding of Cogito by P. Ricoeur and the perception of a given thesis within the framework of classical philosophy is revealed, which consists in the interdisciplinary fullness necessary for the multidimensional coverage of the process of the personality formation. It is revealed that the transition from the state of the subject to the state of the individual, in line with Ricoeur’s philosophy, is carried out through the hermeneutic perception of the surrounding reality and other individuals. A person, according to Ricoeur’s concept, is not only a thinking thing, but the main distinguishing feature is also responsibility which follows the ability to perform an action. Thus, there is a transition from a thinking person to an able person, to a capable person.

Keywords

R. Descartes, thinking subject, P. Ricoeur, a capable person, self-identification, reflective philosophy.

Lipskaya V.                                            DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-53-62

Abstract. 

The article reveals the content of the moral ideal of the individual in the pedagogical thought of Belarus at the end of the 18th – beginning of the 20th centuries. It was revealed that the essential content of the moral ideal of the individual was determined by the understanding of the enlighteners of Belarus of the social essence of man, criticism of existing feudal-serf relations, the dominance of the ideas of collectivism on the Belarusian lands, the spread of humanistic and democratic ideas in society. It is noted that the enlighteners of Belarus attached special importance to the idea of filling the moral ideal with the traits of a real citizen and patriot, directing all their efforts to achieve the common good. It has been determined that under the influence of sociocultural factors in the pedagogical thought of the period under review, the moral ideal of an educated, virtuous citizen, patriot, a hardworking person useful to society, a humanistically oriented person was established.

Krivko I. P., Goncharov M. A.                      DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-63-77

Abstract. 

The Timur Movement is a unique social movement of the USSR, based on the ideas of Arkady Gaidar’s novella “Timur and his Team”, published in 1940. Millions of children and teenagers were swayed by it for the purpose of voluntary gratuitous assistance to those in need, war veterans, for search work to restore information about dead soldiers, for taking care of their burial sites. In the post-war years, the Timur movement gradually acquired the features of a mass official organization coordinated and supported at the state level. After the collapse of the USSR, the movement declined.

NEW MEANINGS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR THE ACHIEVEMENTS
OF MASTER'S STUDENTS OF THE CREATIVE DEPARTMENT

Tkalich S. K., Tkalich A. I.                           DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-114-125

Abstract.  

It is necessary to strengthen the standard of requirements that determine the educational, cognitive and scientific level of preparedness of those who obtain the degree of MA in Education. This article proposes a set of methodological measurements that eliminate this drawback in the methodology of training postgraduate students. Many final qualification works (master theses) comprise a pedagogical experiment in an educational institution, demonstrating their skill and the specifics of methodological actions. However, at the vivo voce defense, we do not check whether they have knowledge of the achievements of the Russian school, including paradigms, methods and artistic techniques. The source of prolongation or variable bifurcation in the experiment often sounds indistinct. Sometimes, there is no selection of scientific terms that define the labyrinth of pedagogical innovation. In our opinion, for this reason, the practice of evaluating final qualification works is not being formalized objectively.

Keywords:

bifurcation, transparency, the ethno-artistic analysis, hierarchy of methodological tools.

Avsievich P. D., Neborsky E. V.                     DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-168-183

Abstract.  

This paper presents a diagnostic matrix for identifying the sociocultural potential of a contemporary authentic literary text. Based on the study of trends in the use of authentic texts in teaching English, the issue of studying ways to form students’ background knowledge about the sociocultural realities in the reading process has become urgent. The demand for creating a diagnostic matrix is dictated by the problems of considering the sociocultural capabilities of the text and is designed within the framework of the cognitive-linguistic approach. The article provides examples of the manifestation of sociocultural information in the following contemporary authentic literary texts: “The Thursday Murder Club” (R. Osman), “Lessons in Chemistry” (B. Garmus), “Normal people” (S. Rooney), “Just Like You” (N. Hornby).

DOI: 10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-184-193

Abstract.  

In modern society, there is a constant acceleration of social processes, which entails the uncertainty and unpredictability. This situation requires the abandonment of standard algorithms and usual actions in favor of using non-standard approaches to solve the assigned problems. In light of these changes, pedagogical science and educational practice pay special attention to preparing the younger generation for the complexities and challenges of modern society through developing creative experience in students already at the initial stage of general education.

The purpose of this study is to identify the level of formation of the procedural criterion of the experience of creative activity of junior schoolchildren. It has been established that the core indicators of the element being studied are the ability to search for information, establish cause-and-effect relationships, and use existing knowledge in conditions of transformation; the ability to see various options for getting out of the current situation, find the most effective way to solve emerging problems independently.

The “Diagnostics of Creative Thinking” method by J. Guilford and P. Torrance, modernized by E. E. Tunik and improved by R. V. Ovcharova, is defined as a diagnostic tool that determines the dynamics of the formation of the phenomenon under study.

Based on the results of an experiment conducted on the basis of educational institutions of the Republic of Mordovia («Gymnasium No. 23» and «Gymnasium No. 20»), three groups of respondents were identified with high, medium and low levels of development of the procedural criterion for the experience of creative activity of junior schoolchildren.

Abstract.  

The present study explores effectiveness of the of developmental coaching intervention for students in distance education. Digital transformation and economic necessity made distance education mainstream, forcing educational providers at all levels to adapt to a remote learning mode. Distance learning by its nature is more stressful for students. In the environment of limited face to face interaction between student and lecturer, coaching aid may provide invaluable and much needed support to students in distance education. Using qualitative and quantitative methodology, the study confirms a high level of students’ anxiety and its negative effect on students’ motivation. The study results proved the necessity for additional support mechanisms for students in distance education with the developmental coaching being one of them, which may provide new opportunities for the students’ personal and professional development. The coaching is found to have a substantial impact on developing soft skills and dealing with adaptive challenges. The greatest coaching effect was reported by participants on the level of motivation and self-acceptance. In the context of  active technological innovations and tendency for the education personification, integration of coaching into the educational process can better facilitate the academic process which is oriented towards combining the progress when mastering the academic knowledge with the steady personal growth.

Abstract.  

The article presents a brief historical insight on the development of video analysis. A variety of directions in the development of this problem are presented due to the need for people of various professions to analyze and improve the technique of moving in space. The emphasis is placed on the fact that the advent of new means of recording the movement process has radically changed the capabilities of researchers. This process allowed one not only to analyze it in detail, but also to improve it, to build a sequence of movements more correctly, to exclude those that could lead to injury to performers or athletes. In addition, new technologies make it possible to introduce video analysis into the learning process, make it more interesting, and set students new exciting tasks the solution of which can be done in different ways. The use of such tools in teaching physics makes experimental tasks attractive to schoolchildren, and their implementation requires a deeper understanding of physical laws. The article provides an example of such a task.

POWER LINES OF THE FORMAT AS A METHOD OF TEACHING COMPOSITION

Makarova K. V., Zhukov D. A.                    DOI10.31862/2218-8711-2024-3-277-291

Abstract.  

The issue of this study is the contradiction between the need to optimize the training of students of art and graphic faculties of pedagogical universities in the field of composition and the insufficient development of methods of teaching composition adapted for art and pedagogical education. The research methods used were the study of literature on a given topic, conversations with artists, teachers and art theorists, as well as the practice of teaching composition at the Institute of Fine Arts of Moscow Pedagogical State University for several years. In the course of the study, we studied the concept of «power lines of the format» from the point of view of the geometry of the picture and touched upon some philosophical aspects of this concept related to intuition and implicit knowledge, relying on the works by R. O. Jacobson and L. A. Mikeshina. The main functions of power lines as constructions underlying compositional schemes are indicated. On specific examples, such types of power lines as the square and the surplus element, the central axes, «thirds», «quarters» and «fifths» are considered. Special attention is paid to the concept of the «golden section» as one of the cornerstones of composition: its definition, method of construction, and role in the picture are given. The golden rectangle as well as increase and decrease of numbers in the golden proportion are considered altogether with the placement of the construction elements based on it. The Fibonacci spiral as a power line of the format, which is a special case of the application of the golden section rule, is drawn. The article also studies in detail the diagonals of the format and two different types of their classification associated with the names of such theorists as N. M. Tarabukin and A. A. Kovalev.

The result of the study was the development of a compositional exercise called «Power lines of the format», the method of its implementation, as well as its introduction into the practice of teaching composition at the Faculty of Art and Graphic Arts of Moscow Pedagogical State University.
