Informatization and digitalization: complexity approach to assessing the transformation of education
https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20190404
Abstract
The authors try to comprehend the features of promising areas of the processes of informatization and digital transformation of education as a complex phenomenon. Using the theoretical concepts of complexity created in Russian and foreign philosophical thought, the authors prove the need to develop integrative approaches to assessing the transformations that take place in the process of informational changes in the sphere of education. The comparative analysis of existing models of the «сomplex vision» of education in the process of its digital transformation and a critical review of its content revealed the advantages and disadvantages of using the principles of epistemology of complexity in the study of education. Education is a sphere of cognitive complication, where the development of creative and adaptive competencies necessary for successful implementation of activities in the conditions of the high-rate variability of the social environment takes place. Systematic update of the results and content of education, methods and organizational forms of academic work requires understanding of the complexity of this complicated process, since the changes in each of the components are interlinked, mutually complement and support each other. Orientation to the procedural rather than the substantial nature of the phenomena of the educational sphere should be ascribed to the advantages of the complexity approach to studying transformations of the educational sphere. Understanding the complexity of education involves addressing the organizational specifics of educational processes, the development of educational environment and pedagogical technologies. The study of the transformation of education as a complex phenomenon involves the organization of interdisciplinary interaction aimed at the synthesis and interaction of diverse forms of reflection and study of education, which involves the use of transdisciplinarity principles.
