Innovative Educational Practices: Classification, Design, Modeling

Abstract

Innovative educational practices are local education phenomena created to solve actual problems in the field of education. Creators of practices implement an authors idea, which allows you to go beyond the boundaries of the normative field of educational activities. The multiplicity and variability of innovative educational practices, the lack of a description from the position of didactics make it difficult to use them as a resource for the development of education. The authors of this entry developed didactic models of various educational practices, carried out classification, determined and characterized the design stages. They analyzed and described the theory of solving inventive problems (TSIP), dramahermeneutics, the technology of education in the global information community (TEGIC), a tutor support of educational activity, action learning, panoramic learning, and others from the didactic positions. The classification of educational practices is based on the allocation of educational problems solved by a particular practice. The entry defines several stages of designing innovative educational practices: - Initiation of educational practice. - Planning and development of a practice. Definition of criteria for its intended effectiveness. - Implementation of a practice. It’s institutionalization. - The stage of completion of a project. In developing models of educational practices, we proceeded from the fact that the didactic model is a descriptive model, including a description of target, value, content, procedural, effective components. The absence of a mathematical apparatus does not reduce its scientific significance.
