Междисциплинарный подход к выбору методов исследования в теории воспитания

Abstract

he article presents an interdisciplinary view of research methods in the theory of education. The development of issues in the theory of education presupposes a clear organization of research activities, in which a key role is played by rethinking and adequate using of research methods from related sciences (psychology, sociology, physiology, cultural studies, and others). Modern theory and practice of education are changing as a result of the integration of knowledge of related humanities. More and more complex and complex problems arise. All in all it necessitates rethinking the methodology of the theory of education. Currently, it is necessary to conduct research activities at the intersection of sciences, which improves the quality of research and allows more holistic use of the results obtained in practice. The article reveals significant principles that determine the methodology of the modern theory of upbringing - the principle of humanitarianism and social expediency of the upbringing process, the principle of the unity of the theory and practice of upbringing, the principle of development, the principle of consistency and determination. Authors highlight the significant interdisciplinary scientific approaches that are relevant to substantiate research methods in the modern theory of education. The basis for the selection of methods was grounded by such disciplines that allow us to consider various aspects of the educational activities of a teacher, enrich the researcher with scientific information about a person and the mechanisms of his personal dynamics (existential philosophy), about the creation of a flexible, open dialogue space in which zones of self-organization of children are provided (synergetics), on the art of deciphering verbal and non-verbal signs of a child (semiotics), on the awareness of the child's path as reaching the heights through difficulties and overcoming (acmeology), on understanding the child through comprehending the meanings of children's behavior (hermeneutics), on the interpretation of the personality as an integral open multilevel developing system capable of withstanding external influences (humanistic psychology). In conclusion, the authors note the importance of a new pedagogical direction - semantic pedagogy, which can be considered as the basis for the integration of humanitarian knowledge, which is essential for modern theory.
