ANALYSIS OF DIDACTIC FUNCTIONS OF CONSTRUCTING THE CONTENT OF THE DISCIPLINE «BASICS OF MODERN PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGIES IN INDUSTRY»

Abstract

The article emphasises that updating the content of education is one of the priority tasks of the New Ukrainian School concept. It is emphasised that it is impossible to determine the directions of this modernisation without taking into account the pedagogical experience related to the understanding of the content of education. The authors analyse the main paradigms and key theoretical concepts underlying the design and development of educational content. It is assumed that the main issue in the considered pedagogical concepts is the purpose of education, which determines its content. A retrospective review of the concepts of educational content has allowed the authors to state that in terms of fundamental content, the scientific and technological paradigm of education correlates with the encyclopedic and utilitarian concepts, summarises the acquired scientific and methodological material at a new, systemic and hierarchical level of understanding. The humanitarian paradigm covers a wide range of material that is interwined with the harmonious development of the individual, it also correlates in content with the didactically formalised concept.

The authors emphasise that the goals of education are expressed in the qualities that higher education students should master through the acquisition of social experience, and hence the content of education as a reflection of it. It is assumed that the professional training of future technology teachers should be adapted to the realities of a modern high-tech society and be based on humanistic and personal principles of education aimed at personal development. At the same time, it is important to apply a functional analysis of technology as a scientific field and an element of culture. This approach is consistent with the culture-creating and vita-cultural paradigm of education, which, according to the authors, correspond to the development trends of the modern high-tech society.
