Immersion in education: State and prospects

Abstract

The relevance of this study is associated with the need to search for new techniques and technologies for the effective development of educational processes in the dynamic, intensive and extensive growth conditions of the modern information space. The study aimed to identify an effective approach to educational processes associated with immersion practices, while focusing on a system of various modalities of information. Research methods included historical and empirical analysis of immersion processes, the neuropsychological method and the method of mathematics of fuzzy sets. Monitoring of educational immersion processes related to testing, questionnaires and surveys of students in schools, colleges, higher educational institutions in the areas of fine art and design made it possible to determine the vectors of structuring immersion information. The practical development of immersion technologies confirmed the relevance of the use of immersion in educational processes. In the process of considering educational immersions, systemic and integral signs of audio, visual, composite and simultaneous immersions were revealed. The prospects of immersion in education are justified by examples of positive historical and modern experience in its application-bilingual, medical, humanitarian, design and so on. This experience became the basis for drawing up a design model for the use of educational immersion and the theoretical transformation of actual knowledge and practices of various textual immersions into the proposed idea of an immersion educational approach, which requires methodological, methodical and technological disclosure. © Primrose Hall Publishing Group.
