Foresight Methods in Pedagogical Design of University Learning Environment

Abstract

Currently, informational-educational environment has become one of the constitutive tendencies in the development of modern education and correlates with IT development in all spheres of human life. The availability of multiple possibilities for using information and communication technologies in education brings about variability in university learning environment design. The authors propose the use of foresight methodology to optimize educational content and structure didactic potential of learning environment. The mechanism of pedagogical design using foresight methodology is based on accommodation of subjective views of stakeholders in the education system, creation of a common vision of the informational and educational environment which involves objective prognostic information and the trends and tendencies in regional education development. The knowledge gained from foresight methodology made it possible to design informational and educational, or learning, environment at the university that is able to ensure the learning process meeting the expectations of all stakeholders as close as it is possible and affect the employment rate of the university graduates.

Forming A Pedagogue’s Research Competences in Innovative Educational Environment

“…The functions of PRA have constantly been reviewed with regard to a continuous updating of tasks due to the development of education in the context of social and economic changes. As a result of an analysis of scientific literature [8][9][10][11][12], we distinguish four spheres of a pedagogue's professional activity within which PRA (as a constituent of pedagogic activity) takes the most important place, is carried out and evolves most actively: 1) sphere of analysis, synthesis and mastering pioneering pedagogic experience; 2) sphere of popularization and initial practical use of pioneering pedagogic experience and advanced developments; 3) sphere of the improvement of professional skills and realization of the creative potential of a teacher; 4) sphere of innovative processes in the system of education. The analysis of these spheres in the professional practice of a school pedagogue allowed distinguishing the following functional complexes associated with the above-mentioned spheres and representing the essence of PRA.…”

The Potential Of Tertiary Learning Environments For Novice Teachers’ Training

“…To ensure the efficiency of researching activities in the conditions of higher education, it is essential that we attempt to predict possible transformations of already existing education systems (Ju et al, 2017). It is important that we should ensure two-way communication between teachers and learners, which is investigated by dialogic pedagogy (Astashova, 2018).…”

Designing a Comfortable Educational Environment

“…Indeed, there are studies devoted to the consideration of the teacher's professionally important qualities significant for increasing the effectiveness of educational activities in an educational institution; to the analysis of innovative approaches to the organization of the pedagogical process within the framework of the personality development problem; to the investigation of the personality's emotional and volitional self-regulation and the relationship of self-organization, self-control and selfcorrection in the formation of a comfortable pedagogical environment. The study of social communication aspects was carried out by such foreign scientists as P. Berger, J. Habermas, A. Schütz [6,7], as well as by domestic specialists including N.D. Arutyunova, M.M. Bakhtin, I.A.…”
