THE CONSTRUCTIVIST PARADIGM AND MODELS OF EDUCATION: THEORY AND PRACTICE OF INTERACTION

The relevance of the research is determined by the search for new educational paradigms that serve as a conceptual and methodological basis of educational practices and allow for a systematic restructuring of the educational process. Within the framework of the constructivist paradigm, the problems of pedagogical constructs as ideal models of education are being developed. The most interesting ones, according to the authors, are projective constructivism and constructive realism. Based on the constructivist methodology, it is possible to hierarchise ideal constructs in education, identify their foundations, commonalities and differences between these levels. Ideal constructs in education are arranged in a hierarchy: educational paradigms - pedagogical design and modelling - pedagogical constructs within the framework of a given pedagogical process. Using a constructivist strategy will allow us to develop constructs and models at all levels of education, including within the framework of new projects of secondary vocational, higher and additional education.
