Inversion and converted forms of educational activities

Abstract
The article considers and compares two cognitive constructs – «converted forms»and «inverse relations» – in relation to educational activity. Inversions are understood as a form of relations in hierarchical systems, in which the lowest hierarchical element acquires a dominant value, while remaining at the same time in the same subordinate position. Previously converted forms were treated as a result of some accomplished transformation. In this study, the converted forms are presented as a result of inversion. There are many examples where the relationship between the concepts of «transformed forms»and «inversions»can be demonstrated. In a converted form it is possible to recognize, as a rule, the initial form existing before the transformation. Of particular importance are transformed forms in education. Thus, in many cases, there are transformed forms of educational activity, both on the part of students and teachers. For example, cramming becomes the converted form of educational activity on the part of students. It appears as a result of inversion, when the results of pedagogical control are put first in academic activity. With this inversion, the learning process is sacrificed to control. Training is not for future professional activities, but for the exam. Educational activity gets transformed in the case when emotions caused by the learning process, but not achieving the goal, come to the fore in the student»s activity The result is academic procrastination. Here educational activity (or any other purposeful activity) also acquires its converted form, namely pastime. Finally, the transformed form of educational activity is generated by the inversion of goals on the part of controlling authorities. As a result, the activity of the teacher is not to prepare students, but to meet the requirements for the accreditation of educational institutions.
