Analog modeling of education for sustainable development in a unified educational space

Abstract

The paper considers the phenomenon of educational space unification as a reflection of globalization in education. The role of education for sustainable development as a global vector of world educational process in unification of educational space was substantiated. Analysis of peculiarities of education for sustainable development different from academic subjects revealed its cross-disciplinary and cross-cut curricular features. Problems of implementing cross-disciplinary and cross-curricular education in the conditions of subject matter education are stated. An assumption is made about the possibility of using the functional system model to overcome such difficulties. Functional system is a system of control in living organisms, developed in the process of evolution, which combines variability and integrity, direct and feedback, flexible and rigid links of regulation, and provides an orientation of all components of the system to achieve a common result. Stages of "work" of functional system are presented as stages of education for sustainable development embedding into unified educational process. The advantages of educational process and monitoring its results on the basis of functional system are justified. Forecast of perspectives of artificial intelligence application to design education for sustainable development as a functional system is made.
