EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TO FORM THE BASICS OF SOCIAL WORLDVIEW

Abstract

Based on theoretical and experimental research on the problems of education reform in
the context of humanitarization of education, the authors elaborate and present a model of
educational technology used to reform the activities in humanitarization of educational process,
to create a flexible effective system at secondary school with the focus on teaching natural
science disciplines. The theoretical study shows that humanization and humanitarization of
education as a holistic system does not have a mechanism to implement social and pedagogical
technologies and does not have a driver to realize this educational concept. This fact led to
the development of educational technology aimed to form the basics of social worldview.
The authors offer possible solutions for the problem by uncovering the pedagogic potential of
natural sciences’ disciplines in forming the basic social determinants, namely, social competence
and social intelligence of the students of secondary school. The main methods used are:
the method of philosophical and subject expansion of natural sciences’ disciplines as a resource
to form and develop social intelligence in the context of humanitarization of natural sciences, and
statistical analysis to process the quantitative results of the pedagogical experiment. The development
of a model of the author's technology is based on ecological approach to the research and
design of educational environments. The methods of organizing educational technology that form
the foundations of social worldview and paradigm of social thinking in modern conditions of
scientific and technical progress are presented. The experimental data show that the organization
of educational process of the secondary school students (7–11 forms) according to the model of
social and pedagogical technology provides the increase of the level of quality of educational
activity that satisfies the educational demand and meets the requirements of Federal Educational
Standards of Russian Federation are present in the work. The authors considered the achievements
of natural sciences from the point of view of the search for a public ideal. They made recommendations
on the application of new scientific approaches, on the introduction of new interpretations,
concepts of physical and natural-scientific outlooks. The developed educational technology
contributes to the change of thinking paradigm, addressing the problem of authentic understanding
of the world. This socio-pedagogical technology contributes to the creation of interdisciplinary
interaction and interpenetration of the scientific and humanitarian understanding of the world
within the framework of the modern concept of natural sciences.
