V. O. Bogdanova
Keywords: pedagogical constructivism, constructivist philosophizing, education as adaptation
Pages: 41-46

Abstract

In the article the basic principles of pedagogical constructivism are revealed, and the idea of efficiency of its application in the theory and practice of education is substantiated. Constructivism considers education as a natural adaptive process. Adaptation of a subject to the conditions of the world around is expressed in the solution of vital tasks. The constructivist approach in education forms a certain type of behavior and the related typology of result-oriented thinking in its practical application for the future. It is focused on formation of a good habit of positive perception of reality, on the openness to all kinds of activity in it, i.e. on the active life position.
