Modern Educational Practice in Terms of an Eco-Psychological Approach.

Aim. To justify the effectiveness of the eco-psychological model devoted to the development of the subject of pedagogical activity which serves as a condition for the formation of the subjectivity in students.

Methodology. A series of diagnostic tests, formative and control experiments were conducted as part of the regional project “Organizational and psychological and pedagogical conditions for the development of the subjectivity of participants in the educational process,” which was carried out at secondary schools in Vladimir from 2016 to 2023. Empirical data were collected using methods whose constructs corresponded to the concept of subjectivity within the framework of the eco-psychological approach, using “Diagnostics of the Stages of the Formation of Students’ Subjectivity” by V. I. Panov, A. V. Kaptsov, and E. I. Kolesnikova, the “Diagnostics of Interactions in the Educational Environment” by A. V. Kaptsov and E. I. Kolesnikova, the “Organizational and Educational Models of Schools” questionnaire by V. A. Yasvin, and others.

Results. The results of the study on the pedagogical sample revealed a positive dynamics of the innovation-modular organizational and educational model of the experimental school (U(26,40)=336,0, p=0,016), which is characterized by a subject-generating type of communicative interactions, as well as a positive dynamics of the “master” and “creator” stages (p<α=0,05). The results of the diagnostic test on a sample of students revealed a high level of motivation and its increasing values from the 8th to the 11th grade, as well as a positive trend in the “master” and “creator” stages. Significant correlations (ρ-Spearman, with p≤0.05) between the “high” stages of subjectivity and the subject-generating type of communicative interactions were revealed.

Research implications. The experimental verification of the eco-psychological approach made it possible to conclude that this approach is highly relevant as a methodological and practical basis for solving the current challenges of the formation of subjectivity among the participants in the educational process.
