FUNDAMENTALISATION OF EDUCATION IN ITS PROJECTIVITY – A TRANSSPECTIVE FROM THE MICROWORLD TO THE MACROWORLD by Stanislav V. Sapozhnykov, Anatolii P. Samodryn, Alina O. Teplytska

“…The authors identify the key ideas of noosphere humanism in Ukraine as follows: designing the future as part of a threefold educational goal-ideal “welfare state – civil society – environmental thinking” should begin from the education system of the region as a purely natural area with state, regional and school components of educational content (academic and applied components); Ukraine’s education system should be guided by the framework law on education and regional educational achievements – regional educational constitutions, and the school component of educational content is developed on the basis of regulations of an educational institution, created and coordinated by the community for individual development; the path of education begins as a psychological and pedagogical problem in the depths of personality, proceeds as a polymorphism of interests (amorphous – broad – core) in the direction of opportunities for their implementation in social work as a profile; the beginnings of cognition are fused by the correct immersion of the individual in nature, in life - the conditions of the ecological trail of the region with points of contemplation and study of the environment with the possibility of comparison with the ideal (tend to deepen educational material, decompose the problem of improving quality of life); the educational environment develops on a democratic principle, where the spirit of law operates, the balance of all branches of government at all levels of the organization, respect for the individual; noosphere profile education realises the synthesis of natural and historical process, takes into account the pace of formation of global democratic social relations as a synthesis of labour, reason and scientific thought related to the religious context in the interests of civilisation; consciousness is the result of evolution, its origins are of geological origin, personal embodiment and collective application: direct, indirect. …”
