Abstract

With wide implementation of network information technologies in education, there is a transition to a new paradigm. The traditional forms, methods, means and content of education do not fit into the new paradigm and so need theoretical reconsideration. The methodological basis for the new paradigm has to be the postnonclassical methodology relying on synergetic vision of the world and soft modeling ideas. The education environment gains other opportunities and limitations as compared to the previous ones. The capacities of network space further the transition from teaching to self-teaching and self-education. As a rule, under such conditions, the process of a student's perceiving the new material becomes non-linear. The main objective of school in these conditions is non-linear arrangement of information, bringing it into a self-organizing system. The paper pays attention to the most rapidly developing direction of the education system information – network technologies. The network technologies open up totally new opportunities for creativity and self-fulfillment of both students and teachers. Computer networks in teaching can be applied for joint use of software resources, for interactive communication, prompt receipt of information, continuous monitoring of quality of the knowledge obtained. Using computer networks promotes the use of new teaching techniques in school and higher education institution, implementation of collaborative technologies that allow organizing education while jointly solving study problems.

Keywords: the problem of understanding, information technologies, generalization of knowledge, problem situations, dialogue, project activity.
