https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20190405
Abstract
The authors of the study note that modern practitioners and theorists of education in pedagogy, psychology, cybernetics and other sciences state the productivity of the application of constructionist ideas and the development of constructionist education technologies. Constructivism pays special attention to the fact that the main goal of modern education (education in the post-postmodern era) is the development of increasingly challenging and complex forms of consciousness and activity. Constructivism also pays special attention to the formulation and resolution of problems of education and professional work within the framework of the truth essence concept, the role of time and space in its comprehension or creation in the dialogue of people and groups. The authors consider the main problems of constructivist interpretation of education, as well as the supports and possibilities of introducing a constructionist approach at the level of ideology, methodology and education technologies; they reveal the functions and ways of implementing the functions of training and education based on the concept of education “platform”. The aim of the work was the analysis of the features of the constructivist interpretation of education, the description by the constructivists of the leading functions and the main ways of carrying out the functions of training and education by teachers and instructors. The authors believe that the constructionist model of education, as well as approaches similar to it (interactive or intersubjective, problem or genetic, contextual or meta-disciplinary) can and should become the focus of attention of researchers, including in the context of systematic methodological, theoretical, empirical and applied research.
