Paradigmatic simulation in environments of Ukrainian general secondary education institutions

In the article, in line with the ideas of the humanistic-competence paradigm of education and the Concept “New Ukrainian School”, the essence and significance of the environment modeling technology of modern general secondary education institution (GSEI) is substantiated. Modeling in education is considered a system of views and actions of mediated knowledge of reality with the help of artificial and natural objects that preserve certain general features of a typical research object and create additional opportunities for its improvement and study. It has been proven that the use of paradigmatic modeling of the educational environment of modern secondary education institutions allows for the realization of essential internal connections between its components (management system, student contingent, professional and pedagogical resource) and the external influences of society, the state and the community. Thus, in the composition of the factors necessary to be considered when modeling GSEI environment, the following can be distinguished: the management component, which forms the organizational structures of the management of the educational institution and determines and sets specifics of the organization of the educational process in the direction of the selected problem, is introduced in GSEI; the regulatory component, which includes legislative and regulatory support, which regulates training, education, and training processes at the level of the selected GSEI (including curricula and programs); the student component, which forms the composition of the contingent of the educational institution; and the target component, which determines the purpose and task of the functioning of GSEI as a health and development environment; the psychological-pedagogical component, which forms the technologies, methods and means of educational activity and which characterizes and specifies the specifics of the educational process carried out in GSEI; resource component, which consists of personnel (teachers, lecturers, educators, group leaders, auxiliary staff of the educational institution), energy and financial capabilities of the educational institution, as well as the system of basic funds and means of education and equipment of the educational institution and technologies for ensuring their suitability, safe use and improvement.
