CREATION OF AN INFORMAL ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDYING NATURAL SCIENCES IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

The main objects of research in this article can be formulated in the form of the following brief idea: University teachers face new problems that put more pressure on the development of the learning environment [11]. Many of them are related to the introduction of new pedagogical approaches, the rapid development of educational technologies, the diversification of non-traditional groups of students in need of flexible courses, as well as growing expectations about the skills needed in their current and future lives. These changes are also consistent with a larger transformation, described as a transition from the instruction paradigm to the learning paradigm, or can be seen as a transition from transferring knowledge to students to building knowledge.
