Noospheric pedagogy: The expansion of the humanitarian space of vocational and pedagogical education

Abstract

The relevance of this subject is due to the changed socio-economic conditions in Russia, which has led to the search for educational paradigms that are appropriate for the new socio-economic development of our country. The purpose of this article is to justify the noospheric pedagogy as an independent branch of the science of teaching that reflects both socio-natural and civilizational changes in the modern world. A leading approach to the study of this problem is a systematic analysis of theories and concepts dedicated to noospherogenesis, which allows filling the teaching science and the educational practice with new constructs and meanings of noospheric content and expanding the humanitarian space by means of new areas of the science of teaching. The study has developed a model for the formation of a new teacher type in the noospheric pedagogy paradigm. Materials of this article may be useful for the development of vocational training programs, including the development of the latter for the network use in the humanitarian space of vocational and pedagogical education. © 2016 Sikorskaya et al.
