What is meant by educational space? What is the purpose of highlighting it? How is it formed? How is it organized?
general information
Educational space is a concept that is used to describe many systems whose purpose is learning. It can be said differently. By space is meant the entire educational sphere, as well as all the influence on it. When analyzing the concept, it’s not superfluous to recall the “Matryoshka” principle with a slight difference: for example, the specific gravity of each system, which is related to generality, will not be the same. And the educational space is not just the largest integrated system that exists within a society or country. He also has a number of derivatives. Depending on how the organization of the educational process is carried out, it can be argued about the directions of movement and the qualitative development of social relations. In this case, multiple intersections occur, as a result of which an estimated characteristic can be implemented, depending on the selected coordinate system with which the assessment is carried out. As reference material, the vision of G. N. Serikov will be used.
Regulatory Coordination
Her task is to characterize moral and legal grounds. The conditions under which the functioning process will take place will depend on them. And how the educational
space will turn out
. This, on the one hand, makes it possible to regulate the relationship between the participants in the process. It also provides legal regulation of the education system and its structural components.
Perspective orienting coordinate
He is engaged in preparation in terms of obtaining a certain result. From her position, it is assessed which professions, abilities, skills, etc., will be needed after a certain time. So, from the point of view of a perspective-orienting coordinate, an analysis of social and value expectations, such as the demand for graduates and the quality of education at various levels of training, is carried out. The greatest interest in this case is professional education.
Incentive coordinate
It shows the specifics of the non / material conditions of functioning of the participants in the relations that are part of the modern educational space. Moreover, in this case, a very clear distinction can be made between sectors and even individual elements. It should be noted that there is also a negative aspect, which is manifested in a significant increase in the number of paper component. Theoretically, you can move forward only by transferring work with information to computer technology, that is, by conducting education cybernetization.
Communicative and informational coordinate
From this position, the relationships between a large number of systems, their structural components and individual elements are evaluated. The ability to adapt education to the challenges of our time largely depends on the ability to quickly and efficiently transmit information.
The impact of modern technology
Now the educational space is not the same as it was a hundred, fifty and even twenty years ago. A significant influence on him now have information and computer technology. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the educational process is gradually moving to virtual space. Initially, it all started with simple courses, which in most cases were worthless. And now even universities practice the development and implementation of distance learning in absentia. There are many simply volunteer projects that are aimed at helping to acquire new knowledge and development. On their own initiative, people create and upload text and video materials in a wide range of areas. So to speak, learn until you drop. For example, if something is not clear to a person at the university, say from the physics section, then he can always look for an explanation. Moreover, it is very likely that in the end he will find a video, and not one where the professor of physics can tell him everything. And under the influence of changes in the world, the requirements for education are changing more and more. Now, as never before, it is necessary that a person not only be a certified specialist, but also possess effective teaching techniques. How not to recall the words from the children's book "Alice through the Looking Glass" - you need to run as fast as possible in order to stay in place. You need to move even faster if you want to go somewhere.
Methodology improvement
It was previously believed that it was enough just to load a person with knowledge, and this is enough. Well, this is really enough to get scholarship. But for the preparation of a specialist that will be necessary for society and will be able to successfully engage in professional activities, this is not enough. What is being proposed now? In addition to obtaining knowledge in an organized form (at school, university), you also need to work to ensure that the person is engaged in learning independently. And the object of interest for him were areas where there is the possibility of successful activity, personal and career growth. All this should be facilitated by a basis in the form of good knowledge of the language, developed critical and analytical thinking (which is greatly facilitated by the study of logic, mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, economics and jurisprudence). These are the
goals of education that will prepare a person that will not be lost in this life. Increasingly, you can hear calls for the need to learn the real things that adults face everywhere. So, paying taxes, filling out various applications, forms, analyzing the principles of functioning of state institutions - this is an incomplete list of working moments that we face. We can say that there are various goals of education, but the most important of them is to prepare a person and a citizen of the country for adulthood and the challenges it has. Moreover, these words should mean not only work within the framework of kindergarten, school and university. No. We have to learn all our lives. Therefore, it is worth making sure that this process is as comfortable as possible.
Instead of a conclusion
As you can see, not everything is so simple. The educational process is a difficult moment in life that lasts all the time while a person is alive. For many, it pauses to a truly small value, but never stops. It should also be noted that significant fact that now the formation of the educational space is taking place not only by the state, but also by individuals who do this both on a commercial and on a voluntary basis. This is both good and bad. Why is that? If there are private attempts to improve education, then this indicates that the state is not coping with demand. And that's bad. But at the same time there are people who take the enlightenment of the masses in their hands. It’s worth going to popular video hosting sites, as you can see for yourself how many people with advanced degrees carry knowledge to the masses, professionally explaining the difficult moments of many sciences, specialties and moments. Now it is safe to say that the educational process is part of public life, which has long and confidently gone beyond the control of the state. It is possible that over time, study will change so much that a resident of the beginning of the twenty-first century and will not be able to immediately recognize it.
