CONCEPT AND CONTENT OF EDUCATIONAL PARADIGM

Abstract

It was determined that the educational paradigm is a fundamental aspect of educational practice, which forms the way of thinking, structuring and evaluating education. Research has shown that different paradigms have a significant impact on student learning outcomes, highlighting the importance of adopting a more learner-centered and constructivist approach to education.Enshrining educational paradigms in law has been found to be essential to ensuring that education meets desired goals and outcomes. By implementing the desired paradigm in curriculum, teacher training and development, assessment, and resourcing, policymakers can create a more effective and meaningful educational experience for students.Arguments are given in favor of the fact that the development of educational programs is one of the ways of introducing educational paradigms into laws. The curriculum is the foundation of education and it determines what students learn and how they learn it. By incorporating a particular educational paradigm into the curriculum, policymakers can ensure that teachers provide education that is consistent with the desired paradigm.The current educational paradigm in the European Union is considered, which emphasizes the importance of providing high-quality, relevant, and inclusive education and training that prepares students for active participation in society and the workforce. The EU's focus on key competencies and lifelong learning reflects a wider shift in educational paradigms towards more learner-centered, flexible, and personalized approaches to learning that emphasize the development of 21st-century skills.The relationship between educational paradigms and educational programs is analyzed. They have been found to be closely related concepts that together shape the way learning is conceived, structured, and evaluated. The educational paradigm defines the goals and outcomes, content, and structure, as well as methods and strategies used in the educational program. By understanding the relationship between these two concepts, educators c an d esign m ore e ffective and meaningful educational programs that fit their educational paradigm.
