PROBABILISTIC KNOWLEDGE IN EDUCATION

S. L. Timofeyev
Keywords: probabilistic knowledge, the theory of cognition, representation, education, the principle of induction, deductive method, dialectics
Pages: 256-264

Abstract

The concept of probabilistic knowledge, in spite of its active use in the contemporary science, is not used in the practice of education. In the article, there is undertaken an attempt to solve this problem and to show that the probabilistic knowledge is a consequence of the realization of the theory of knowledge as the theories of representation. An alternative (dialectical) theory of cognition in science gradually gathers force. Changes must begin from education; therefore the teachers and students should know, understand and correctly apply this knowledge in the practical professional activity.
